Wait for message ___ to be broadcast

There are the blocks [blocks]<broadcast[,][/blocks] , [blocks]<broadcast[,]and wait c>[/blocks], to send messages, and [blocks]<when I receive[,][/blocks] to recieve them, why not make blocks, so that you can [blocks]<wait until>[/blocks] Message [ ] broadcast.. you can wait for certain amount of times, you can wait for [blocks]<( x <=> y )>[/blocks] it is just sort of odd that you can't wait for a message to be broadcast.

Yes, we all want that.

Re: Wait for message ___ to be broadcast

It's kinda odd that it hasn't been implemented yet... If would make many things so much easier. ^^

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. >.>

Re: Wait for message ___ to be broadcast

I wish that block existed... otherwise you have to do this:

so and so
so and so
so and so
set [fake broadcast] to (1)

so and so
forever
  wait until <(fake broadcast) = (1) >
  do whatever you like

Frustrating, and gives you so many variables.
But now...

Kneel down before the mighty list!

And then you use (item (1) of [list]) blocks.

Re: Wait for message ___ to be broadcast

For now you'll have to do:
When I recieve message
if recieve=1
[Scripts here]
end if

And for the other part

[Scripts here]
set recieve to 1

Re: Wait for message ___ to be broadcast

I know, but I don't want to create a variable and/or a list every time for broadcasts...


Hai.
