Change x/y of variable by ()/ Set x/y of variable to ()
set x of [variable v] to ( 0 ) set y of [variable v] to ( 0 ) change x of [variable v] by ( 10 ) change y of [variable v] by ( 10 )Something like that would be nice you know?
Like in a fighting game or something:
when gf clicked forever set x of [health v] to ( [x position v] of [player 1 v]) set y of [health v] to ( ( [y position v] of [player 1 v]) + ( 30 ) )Except that they would be orange like the variable blocks, or maybe blue?

It's amazing how many times this has been suggested.
Anyway yeah, it'd be cool and stuff I guess, but you shouldn't really use variables for display anyway; they just look messy in my honest opinion. Use sprites instead.

I support! Sometimes a variable just gets in the way.

I would prefer to use sprites, but I'm not sure how to use them to display several digit numbers.

I think it would be useful for math projects that show the variables. because when they're uploaded, all the variable get stuck in the corner and you have no idea where they're getting the numbers from.

It's actually nowhere near as hard as it looks. You can either have one sprite that stamps out the score, or you can have multiple sprites that each display a specified digit. I use the latter method in my latest project; you can download it and look at the scripts

Yep, I noticed as soon as you first posted!
I totally forgotten about the new operator blocks and put them to use in my latest project.
Thanks.
