Its ok... but as my dad tells me, its best to make your program in reuseable methods or functions, so you use the broadcast blocks.

Re: go to block
What do you mean by go to?
not this, right?

Re: go to block
I think rhinorulz is talking about "go to [ ]" with lines of code - it would move the acting spot in the script to the specified spot.
I don't like the idea... I think it's better to just build your script the normal way.

Yes, when I need to do something like this I split the script into different "When I Receive" scripts, like this:
[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
[do stuff]
<broadcast[ password
<when I receive[ password
ask [Enter your password, please] and wait
<if><( answer <=> <{ pass }> )>
<broadcast[ log in
<else>
<say[ Wrong password. ]for( 2 )secs>
<broadcast[ password
<end>[/blocks]
But broadcasts will slow down the project. Because of that and to save broadcasts it'd be nice if you would mark sections of a script with a block and use goto to go to that section. I'll make a mockup now 
EDIT: Done:

Re: go to block
Can't you make the same thing with a "forever if" loop?
Goto is, today, seen as bad practice in most languages, some doesn't even implement it.
I doubt Scratch team will introduce something teaching bad programming habits... :-)
It would be better to have efficient broadcast (if it is so laggy) or custom blocks or similar solutions.

Hey there, weaverman, I think it would be a better idea if you started your own topic about online gaming (preferably in the 'Miscellaneous' forums) rather than try to change the topic in an already existing thread.
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

I really like that idea! But... maybe something a bit more like it being a container block.

That way, it would be able to just act like real programming languages, which go to that area, then jump back. Because your version would ust jump to there, and work its way back down again. Thats ok for what your scrpt was like, but for some other types it would be harder and not as easy to intergrate.
