The block that scratch 2.0 REALLY REALLY NEEDS!

What Scratch 2.0 REALLY needs is a

[blocks]<wait until><when I receive[ ]>[blocks]

block!
It would make programming RPGs (like the one I'm working on right now) a lot easier! Please take this into consideration, Scratch Team!


Back. For now. Maybe.

Re: The block that scratch 2.0 REALLY REALLY NEEDS!

This has been suggested a lot - but unfortunately the block won't be included because it's not boolean.

However, <I am recieving> and <I have recieved> are, so those can be put in  smile

Maybe he means something like [wait until [] is broadcasted/received]. But you can use variables for that so it's not really necessary, adding it would just make stuff easier for newbies.

Which could actually make it quite useful since a lot of new Scratchers don't know many work-arounds  smile

A lot of the time ideas like this are suggested, "You can just do this or that instead" gets mentioned and it gets overlooked.
But I think blocks like this should still be included, since Scratch is supposed to be an easy to use program.

So... *Agrees* ^^

Agreed... but it would make 1s1s projects far easier.  hmm

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand trinary, those who don't, and those who think this is the same old signature.
Three lines! (and base three!)
