An "I recieve _______" block
Hello! My idea is a block that says something like "I receive _____" block. This would be useful for an "If I receive______" situation. I have found myself needing this in many situations. Does anyone agree?

Re: An "I recieve _______" block
Do you mean a block like this 
?
Or do you mean this? 
?
if you mean the second, you could simply use
if <(broadcast)=[1]> enter what you want to do here
When I receive [broadcast] set (broadcast) to [1]Or if you want it to reset every time you could add
when gf clicked set (broadcast) to [0]

What if I don't want to make a new variable?
I've always used the workaround - even before I really saw this complaint - and still get annoyed at having to use it. I was kind of shocked when I didn't see it in 2.0.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Then make a list.

Re: An "I recieve _______" block
I support. I think that new Scratchers would really benefit from a "When I Receive" stack block because I think a lot of people won't find out about this workaround until they've been on Scratch for a lot longer. For example, I have a project called Penalty Kick which would of benefited from this block. Although I'm now going to use this workaround to fix a bug in the program I would have never had this bug in the first place if this block had existed.
