When <> hat block
I suggested this before but I'm making this more clear. In this block
if <>The <> after "if" would be great if you had that in a "When <>" hat block. This hat block would be capable of having any Boolean inserted into it. What's the difference in this and
When gf clicked Forever if <>The difference is that the script above must always be running to report true. That can cause a lot of lag. This is almost like the same thing:
When [sprite 1 v] clickedAnd
When gf clicked Forever if <<mouse down> and <touching [sprite 1 v]>>See what I mean? The first one is more efficient because the script doesn't run until the statement is true.
I think a When <> hat block would be great!

Such an easy workaround.

I can't find any record of this; what's your source?

It's in lots of mods (such as Insanity), if you want it.
Whats the point if its easy to workaround?

ive seen it in obsolete block projects but it doest really work at all
they added this weird "when [loudness v] > (10)" block to 2.0 but a "when <>" hat would be a lot more simple and useful
the way i understand it this block would work regardless of whether or not you clicked the green flag which means the proposed workaround wouldnt have the same effect
