Deleting Broadcasts

I know you can delete variables, but is there a way to delete broadcasts?

I don't think so, I wish there was.

Re: Deleting Broadcasts

Well, if you don't use the broadcast in any scripts, and then you save and close scratch, then that broadcast will disappear. Sometimes, even if you don't close and save, if you don't use it at all for awhile, it will disappear.

Hope that helps,

Re: Deleting Broadcasts

exactly, broadcast aren't like individual variables, that are saved, its like one global variable that contains a broadcast, so having 100 broadcast messages, 1 or none will make no difference (except in performance if runned simultaneously, or the length of the message, which makes little difference).

Re: Deleting Broadcasts

Just get rid of all blocks that use the broadcast, it will automatically disappear.


Tip of the whatever: Don't post in threads older than 2 weeks unless your post will actually be useful.

Re: Deleting Broadcasts

That's actually a really good question, I hadn't even thought about that before. I don't think there's a command to delete them or a button like for variables, but like those above me said if you don't use them they disappear.
