Simple block: (previous costume)

This feature annoys me: There is a "next costume" block, but if I want to switch to the previous costume, I'd have to put:
[blocks]
<switch to costume[ (( costume # <-> 1 ))
[/blocks]
It may get annoying at times, so maybe they should put in a "Previous Costume" block that performs the function above? I don't want to make one myself, with 1.3 coming out...

Re: Simple block: (previous costume)

Yeah, this is really annoying. It's one of those things they want Scratchers to figure out for themselves, I think.

Yeah, I want a "previous costume" block if necessary...

It is not necessary to have so I don't think they'll put it in.

Re: Simple block: (previous costume)

Why not have:

a variable called: Costume Number

then
Forever: set cosume to "Costume Number"

then you could just do: change "Costume Number" by -1

You don't need variables. Just do set costume # to (costume # - 1)
