Re: How to update all items in a list all at once with zero delay?
Instead of using the "replace" block, use a "broadcast and wait" block. For every item in the list, make a "When I receive" script that will activate at the broadcast and replace its specified item. One of those scripts per item.
All the items get replaced at once - but there's all that scripting! At least it works.

Thank you!
Also, I can compress all that scripting into one block, since I'm using BYOB, which I didn't want to say because everyone would say to check the atomic check-box, when that actually has a delay. >.>
Another good thing is it's the 2.99 alpha, so I can duplicate scripts and put them in lists. :3

Well... that has more of a delay.

Really? Because my lists have varying values, and I just can't make that many scripts. Is there another way?

But they all update at once - wasn't that the goal?
