I need to disable the show on stage toggle, while having just one argument for the block in question. As you know, there are other blocks in Scratch that do this. Thanks for reading! smile

So you mean you want to hide your sprite and only use one script? Just put make a variable that hides the sprite when it is equal to one, and then make a new if that shows it if the variable is equal to 0.

No, he means he wants to disable the checkbox near a custom block with an input so it's watcher doesn't say (sprite1's %s [ ]) or something like that.

It's all in CommandBlockMorph's #canBecomeWatcher

It does both tests for sections of messages (good if all the blocks in a category shoudn't be shown) and individual messages. I have a fix somewhere that replaces the %'s in the strings with the actual parameters, though. If you want it, ask me and I'll dig it out smile

Actually, what I meant is do disable watchers for a specific custom block I made.

Jwosty · 2010-07-20 15:34:43

Bump.

I think the only way to do that is to have more than one argument in it.

Lol! Did any of you read nXIII's post?

Oh, thanks! (I didn't seem to see that first part) I'll see if it works! lol

It didn't work when I changed the method to this:

canBecomeWatcher
"I determine which blocks can become watchers."

Code:

canBecomeWatcher
    "I determine which blocks can become watchers."

    | i |
    i _ selector asString findAnySubStr: #('mouse' 'key' 'touching' 'distance' 'now') startingAt: 1.
    ^ (self isReporter) &
       (self argumentCount <= 1) &
       ((#(not atRandom abs rounded lineCountOfList: stringLength:) includes: selector) not) &
       (i > selector asString size)

(The block was called '[day index] now' with a drop down menu)

Help?

What was the method of the block? (the "#methodName:Here" part) That's what you need to put in the brackets. Odd, but apparently that's how it works. smile

Jwosty · 2010-07-27 19:42:09

I don't know what #metodNameHere part you are talking about...

So, here is the 'blockSpecs' part:

Code:

('%t now'                        r    dateTime: 'day index')

This is the 'dateTime part:

Code:

dateTime: itemName
    "returns the date or time selection from a menu"

    | hour |
    "date"

    'year'        = itemName ifTrue: [^ Date today year].
    'month'        = itemName ifTrue: [^ Date today monthName].
    'day index'        = itemName ifTrue: [^ Date today day].
    'full date'    = itemName ifTrue: [^ Date today].
    'weekday'    = itemName ifTrue: [^ Date today weekday].

    "time"

    'hour'        = itemName ifTrue: [(Time now hours > 12) ifTrue:
                                                            [ hour:= (Time now hours - 12)]
                                                       ifFalse:
                                                            [ hour:= Time now hours]. ^ hour.].
    'minute'    = itemName ifTrue: [^ Time now minutes].
    'second'        = itemName ifTrue: [^ Time now seconds].

    ^42

dateFunctionNames:

Code:

dateFunctionNames
    "Answer a collection of date names."

    ^ #(
        'year'
        'month'
        'day index'
        'full date'
        'weekday'
        'hour'
        'minute'
        'second' )

And finally, the unColoredArgMorphFor: aString (Just the part with my dateTime menu):

Code:

$t = code ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #dateFunctionNames; choice: 'day index'].

Thanks! wink

This is the 'dateTime part: ... Thanks!

Are you using the source code or Scratch?

If you're using Scratch, put this part ('%t now' #- #dateTime) in the brackets.

If you're using the source code, I don't know what to do at the moment -- let me open up my ancient copy of it and have a look around. smile

Jwosty · 2010-07-29 16:12:31

I'm using the source... But I hope we figure this out! tongue

Jwosty · 2010-07-30 16:21:24

Bump?

nXIII · 2010-08-01 11:17:08

You need to use part of the selector, not the block spec, so search for date or something.

Jwosty · 2010-08-02 11:33:14

Sorry, I don't know what you mean. Could you explain a little more? I can't beleve I forgot what selector means! yikes

nXIII · 2010-08-02 20:13:43

selector is the "name" of the message, like "indexOf:" or "dateTime:"

Jwosty · 2010-08-03 11:10:55

But wait... I tried 'now' also.

nXIII · 2010-08-03 18:15:31

It would be 'date' or 'Time' (parts of "dateTime:"

Jwosty · 2010-08-03 19:38:33

Thanks so much! It worked! lol
