            t4 _ t4 + 1].
    t5 localize.
    t7 _ t5 startUp.
    ^ t7

This takes the name of a list as an argument and displays a menu containing the items in the list. However, the menu never displays and it just reports nil. Can anybody fix it?

Bump.

I didn't originally start from BYOB, and I didn't steal Bingo Blocks. I just want to make the best possible mod for people to enjoy. Scratch is supposed to be open-sourced, as are all mods, which means that pretty much every idea can and will be taken from everyone.

This could help me find a new code!

Wait... I couldn't transform this into a new block.

I hate to sound like this, but...
Let's not argue with him. Even if I agree with you, even if you know you're right, all we're going to do is start a massive argument and nobody is going to be happier at the end.

i would just really love it if people stopped claiming blocks that aren't theirs. i can perfectly understand that if we don't build our ideas on top of others', we're never going to get anywere. Mankind stepped on the moon thanks to inventions like platic too - if NASA had to invent everything itself, we would still be up to the invention of the bucket. 
So: build on others' ideas, but give the appropriate credit and never claim something to be yours when it's not.

Yes, you're right. My opinion: there's a line between "building on other's ideas" and "using nothing but the ideas of others", and it's been crossed by numerous mods (not yours!)

Thank you for that compliment. I really do put focus on credit. You can find a whole page on block credit in the Bingo manual for 1.2. You're included many times, i have to say.

And i perfectly agree with the statement before that too. Not saying that grouping work isn't useful - But just doing it for the fun of making a mod without knowing a word of Squeak is definitely not worth sharing. But there have been many fowl roads in the world of discovery, and let's just hope in a better environment for the future.

Can you make a block that opens the paint editor? I've been trying, but I can't get it to work.

if you want it to open the editor to create a new costume it's pretty easy.
i had a look at the source code and found
('paint new' - drawNewCostume)
it's as simple as that.
not sure if it works though

I'll try it

There is absolutely no point in creating a pause block. Why? Because how will it know when to resume if nothing is running? It can't. So you don't need the play either. If you want to make a pause, make it the BYOB3 way, like next to the green flag and stop sign.

It will resume when another script e.g. when sprite clicked or when key pressed is triggered later on. Also, you could have pause all scripts for sprite whatever and a similar play block.

In Slash (based on BYOB) I made a pause block.

Also how would I make that block???
