Scratch

Alright, I found the blockspec and code for the string reporter. Scriptable scratch morph.
blockspec:

('report %s' #r #report: 'hello')

code:

report: t1
^ t1

Thats a block? it just reports exactly what you put in!

Yep! Pretty useless huh?

and, in fact, if you want a string to fit inside a numeric reporter you could use the join block instead

Or maby you can use a variable.

NOTE:
There's a second, more advanced version of the block, with a drop-down menu instead of a string inserter, but it involves extra coding. If you are willing to take the challenge, post and i'll edit this tutorial for you

   can i haz?

ok. note that this is for the source code. if you are using normal scratch replace the 'code' with 't1'
into Scratch-Blocks > CommandBlockMorph > all > uncoloredArgMorphFor:
add a line that looks like this:
$t = code ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #timeDates].
back in ScriptableScratchMorph, create a new method with this code:

timeDates
^ #('time' 'date' 'minutes' 'seconds' 'hours' 'weekday')

now replace the blockSpec you created with ('get %t' r getDate: 'time')
it should work 

Thanks!

I personally think this is the second block forum that should get ITopic'd. But that's just me.

I agree. Back it up here.

I try to create a block but it won't let me save. If i don't save and then go to instance then it deletes what i have done.

you mean it wont let you click accept?

I click accept and it says: "nothing more expected" but then when i try to go to instance or anything else it says: "Changes have not been saved is it OK to cancel changes" If I click yes then I go to instance but i lose my work, If i click No i stay where i am.

Did you remember to put a dot at the end of the line? Or do you need to type 'self' before the command?

Thanks for helping but it still won't work!!! This is what i type in: ('showing?' #b #getHidden). and it won't work. This is for the Showing? Block on the first page of the forums. I type this in on the bottom(apart from the : t1, self obsoleteblockspecs) on the: Scratch Objects-ScriptableScratchMorph-Class-BlockSpecs-BlockSpecs.

Maybe too many right parentheses?

The period isnt neccesary.

ah, finally someone spotted the mistake. i wonder why nXIII didn't spot it though 

I considered it to be a full stop in the sentence with incorrect capitalization.
