I'll give you an idea for a block! [post [string] on Twitter] command block. Good luck, you'll need it.

I need help. My new (key pressed) block gets an error, and my <key [space] pressed> block works like my modblock was supposed to!

Can someone help me? I don't do Squeak.

did you keep the top bold part same as before? that would make the key space pressed work just liek the mod block because the header is the same

what about the block: (pick random (1) or (10))

That can easily be achieved by:

set temp to (pick random 1 to 2)
if <temp = 1>
set someOtherVariable to 1
else
set someOtherVariablr to 2

you could even add more numbers to that by using a list.
put the numbers you want in a list, then add the simple script:
[blocks]
<item <pick random( 1 )to( length of list )) of list>
[/blocks]
or, if the possible numbers are an equal distance apart (e.g. 0, 10, 20, 30, etc) you can use the script [blocks]
(( <pick random( 1 )to( 5 )) <*> 10 ))
[/blocks]
this example above will give you either 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50.

I think you mean this example above will give you either 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.

those still wouldnt get what i want. i want a code for pick random 1 or 10 not a thing that gives you 10 20 30 40 50 or something else! PLEASE!

then do [blocks]
<if><( <pick random( 1 )to( 2 )) <=> 1 )>
<set{ whatever }to( 1 >
<else>
<set{ whatever }to( 10 >

yep. typo. fixed

your pick random 1 to 0 set var to this is not what i want. you wouldn't get the same hting with 1 to 10, i want 1 OR 10, which gets you the answer of 1 IOR 10, to just 2 numbers next to each other. PLEASE UNDERSTAND!


EDIT: Wow, looking back at this today makes me realize that what you did is genius.

Let me show you my evaluation of my example:

(pick random 0 to 1) -> 1 or 0

(answer * 10) -> 10 or 0.

If you want 1 or 10, just use

(((pick random 0 to 1) * 9) + 1)

the general algorithm would be

(((pick random 0 to 1) * (difference between two numbers)) + (smaller number))
