find and replace
After spending a few hours just replacing variables in my game I can see how useful this would be.
You could put some blocks in a little box then it would highlight matches and replace them if you wanted.

Re: find and replace
do you mean something like you add a box containing a variable, then you add another variable to it, and when you do all of the variables on that sprite get changed from one variable to the other?

Re: find and replace
I mean something like the text version
There is one box that you can drop scripts in and it searches for matches. If it finds a matching script it replaces it.

Re: find and replace
I would love something like that. Too many times I've been trying to replace a certain sequence of blocks for another, and it gets tedious searching for and replacing scripts.
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Re: find and replace
That is definitely a must for Scratch!
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Re: find and replace
ok yes i understand now lol. but maybe it would be even better if you could drop in a group of scripts as well instead of just one, therefore say if you had an
<if><(<{happy}> <=>10)>
<broadcast[ hello
but you made an error on the broadcast and the value so...
changed to
<if><(<{happy}> <=>11)>
<broadcast[ goodbye
