Scratch

For that you could do [When flag clicked] [say {hello}] [glide 1 secs to x:0 y:0] [wait 1 secs] [say {nothing}]. But for other scripts that would be useful. 

Technically, you already can.

This would be useful, but it would probably lead to a lot of confusingness.

My method for doing it would be if you don't want multiple scripts you wouldn't want to.
If you wanted, you would right-click on a block and select it, and then select a place for scripting would come alongside, joined by a yellow line.
For example, you could have a script going: [blocks]
<when green flag clicked><glide( 1 )secs to x   0 )y   0
But at the same time you want it to change colours as well so you would right click on the main script, then you would choose when in the script you want it to do it (obviously). [blocks]
<repeat( 100<change[ colour ]effect by( 5
Then if you want it to say something as well, you would right-click the one you had just created (or the main script, it wouldn't matter), choose the option, and do the scripting: [blocks]
<say[ Hello! ]for( 2 )secs>
This would help reduce the amount of scripts you have and also reduce the amount of 'broadcasts' that you could do.

It'd probably have less lag too. It would count them as different scripts, so that there isn't lag, but it would say that it has only one script, so there would be no lag from really long scripts that have it. It could theoratically be possible to put all of the scripts together in 1 superscript.

There's still the same amount of stuff going on, so no, this would not reduce lag.

I think the current method (using 2 scripts) is fine. At least it won't confuse younger Scratchers.

I think this is the first time for me to get the "60 seconds rule" in the normal Scratch Forums...
