it would be like

____________
| switch () |
| case (): [-]|
| | |_|
| |_______
| case (): [-]|
| | |_|
| |_______
| default: [+]|
| | |_|
| |__________
|____________|

and what it does is first it works out the value of the "switch" input. Then it checks each "case" input and if one matches the value that is in the "switch" bit, it runs the blocks in that input. If there is no match, it runs the blocks in the "default" bit. The - buttons next to each case will delete that case and the + button by the default will add another case.

It´s a nice idea! smile

This is basically two nested "If Else" blocks, though.
A few more blocks won't hurt.

Not exactly. It works out the main value first, than works out the case values and compares them to the main value. You can also add more cases using the + button.

Yes.

this already exists


 if <(blah) = (bloh)>
   if <(evil) = (funny)>
   go to [your doom v]
   else
     if <(mwahhaha) = (evil laugh)>
     go to [your room v] 
     else
     set [good v] to [evil]
     end
   end
 end

is that what you mean if so are you asking for the else if command witch exists in other languages but might be confuse to many kids witch is what scratch is meant for right?
but you can still use this command by placing else and if blocks next to each other

no, this is the switch block in other programming languages, not the if/else block.

I love this idea and support, but it might be really confusing to new Scratchers and younger members hmm

kayybee · 2012-02-20 14:37:12

However, the switch block is already makable with the if else blocks.

ProgramCAT · 2012-02-20 18:41:46

You can do this already with the if/else blocks.

yes, i KNOW you could just do

if <(switch) = [case1]>
do case1
else
if <(switch) = [case2]>
do case2
else
if <(switch) = [case3]>
do case3
else
if <(switch) = [case4]>
do case4
else

if <(switch) = [case5]>
do case5
else

if <(switch) = [case6]>
do case6
else

if <(switch) = [case7]>
do case7
else

if <(switch) = [case8]>
do case8
else

if <(switch) = [case9]>
do case9
else

if <(switch) = [case10]>
do case10
else

if <(switch) = [case11]>
do case11
else

if <(switch) = [case12]>
do case12
else

do default

But this can get VERY laggy if there are alot of cases, and you have to drag out loads of nearly identical structures to do this, and besides: the switch structure is in many, many programming languages anyway.
