um... doesn't this already exist?

Yes it does. In the sensing category, the 'If touching' block lets you select edge. (It's always second from top, after mouse-pointer). 

They should have a When I receive button that you can put in the if, repeat until, etc. blocks.

That will most likely be in Scratch 2.0, but I did make a hack version of Scratch that I use for personal uses. I.E., projects that I don’t post online for various reasons.

In my hack version of Scratch, that I call “SplitzScratch” Because “Splitz” was my nickname three years ago, I made a “when I receive” boolean. Here are some other blocks I hacked:

There's already a "Costume number" reporter block, and the "Dismiss speech bubble" can be done by putting:

Say ""

So just leave it blank.

And how would a received boolean work? I mean, it takes about 0.01 seconds to send a broadcast.

henley, I thought N % N already existed as N mod N! Does yours do anything different?

Mod is different from percentage.

50 % of 6 = 3, but 50 mod 6 = 2.

Mod means the remainder of a division. So 50 / 4 = 12 remainder 2. Therefore, 50 mod 4 = 2!

Ugh, I hate maths.

You must know, redrocker, that in programming languages the percent sign is used as modal, so that 8 % 3 would equal 2.

for "10 % 30" to equal 3 just doesn't make any sense, logically it should be "30 % of 10".

I know my maths, I'm in high school

Gee, how could I have been programming for nearly a YEAR and not know that?!

Thanks for telling me! 

And I knew it didn't make any sense, but I thought maybe you were in a rush or something! 

Well, I've been programming for 4 years, and I didn't know that till last year

Sshhh! Don’t tell them that!

Oops, I forgot there was a “costume #” block. And I already knew about the [say []] trick, I just liked it better as it’s own block.

And why wouldn’t the boolean work? What does the delay have to do with anything?

Sorry, I just realised it's '  ' received, not receiving '  '.

The last one wouldn't work because it would only be true for about 0.01 seconds.
