Scratch

if you would like to have those same menus (instead of string arguments) that netScratch has, you can edit the uncoloredArgMorphFor: code in the same category (private) and add those codes (%z, %j, %w etc.). then add the menu names. it's a bit more complicated, tell me if you want it or not and i'll make a clearer tutorial. 

you cant make the #g, but you can make the %z %w and %j.
here's how:
go to scratch-objects -> commandblockmorph -> private -> uncoloredargmorphfor:

and you'll see some frightening code. there, you'll find a list of $x = code ifTrue: [^ something]. all in alphabetical order.

add

$z = code ifTrue: [^ ChoiceOrExpressionArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: zipNames; choice: 'city'].

in the right alphabetical place.

now, back to ScriptableScratchMorph, add a method called zipNames like this:

zipNames
^ #( 'city' 'state' temperature' )

and all of that stuff following this template. then do the same thing from the beginning for the other two, %j and %w (which in the uncoloredArgMorphFor are $j and $w).

@dav09:

yeah that's what i meant. and the weather block should work, if you did the method right in the first place    (the one called by the blockSpec)

you're welcome!
but are you going to release this mod, or will you keep it to yourself?

oh and i noticed, you were actually the first one to post on this thread after me! you're still here after 32 pages! thanks for the loyalty

im sorry to bother u again but its still not workin? I have block specks and the other instance blocks matching. when i try select temperature in it comes up where a variable (in the corner would usuall be) sprite 1 %r of %s, it should be temperature :?
And if i double click the block it wont work, just error

(post 1500!)ok bye... have a nice time...

How do you make the block like a [blocks]<stop all>[/blocks] block? And TheSuccessor, where did you get the idea of antarctica? And while we're at it, why are we talking about this?

The link block
Ok, finally some time to add the greatest block of all. the block links the user to a webpage, program or file as long as the path  or URL is given. add in the blockspecs in the control section some kind of block code (choose whatever you want, you know how to do it). and add in the corresponding instance ops:

Code:

    Cursor wait showWhile: [ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: t1]

So little code for such a great block... and remember to click accept!

I tried making my own Block Spec - but it just made the Control section unopenable. Can you give the Spec? Also, can you add some blocks with drop-down boxes? (Including (get {date}) ) Thanks    .

Oh, sorry I found it here: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=371891#p371891 .

I can't figure out how to make the Graphic effect reporter block... can someone help?

Here it is just quickly. i've got hw to do now!

Code:

getEffect: t1 
    filterPack ifNil: [^ 0].
    'blur' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack blur].
    'brightness' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack brightnessShift].
    'fisheye' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack fisheye].
    'color' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack hueShift].
    'colour' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack hueShift].
    'mosaic' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack mosaicCount].
    'pixelate' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack pixelateCount].
    'pointillize' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack pointillizeSize].
    'saturation' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack saturationShift].
    'transparency' = t1 | ('ghost' = t1) ifTrue: [^ self transparency].
    'whirl' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack whirl]

Hope it helps.

What's the Block Spec? I seem to be having trouble creating one... and where do you put the code?

um... asciiFor:

What's the Squeak code for it? And where should I put the code?

Incredibly, I've found that that code is already there    . You only need to add the Block Spec.
