Ok, so I ran out of votes over in Scratch Suggestions, but I just now thought up this block and wanted to see what the Scratch team and other scratchers thought about it, so I thought I'd post a topic in the forums. I made a project explaining my block, you can ask questions there or here and I'd be happy to answer them. Thx guys! ^^

But that would go with the suggestion for this boolean block:

<[message v] received?>

Which would be really hard to make, especially for something with a very easy workaround:

set [selected var v] to [0]
repeat until <(selected var)=[1]>
scripts...
end

True, but it becomes a whole lot easier if you can just tell the script something instead of having to flip through multiple tabs to collect all that information. it would simply all be on the control tab, and you just have to select which message you want. instead of

set [selected var v] to [0]
repeat until <(selected var)=[1]>
scripts...
end

It would be just

repeat until <[message v] received?>
scripts...
end

melded together into one script. Doesn't even have to be boolean. I can see how you thought that out though. smile

The ST refuses to add workaroundable blocks. Sorry.
