Me too but until then just use:
<broadcast[ something ]>
<set{ something }to( 1 )>
<if><( <{ something }> <=> 1 )>
Do something
<end>

Re: if i recieve block
It's impossible to make because broadcasts aren't booleans. Don't ask why not, they just aren't...
Use the variable way instead.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: if i recieve block
yep, and if youve done alot of broadcasts already do something like
When i receave (BROADCAST1)
var broadcaster = 1
and on the receave script
if(var broadcaster = 1)
broadcaster = 0
do stuff
I got out of the habbit of broadcasts before i went on to flash, which only has variables.

Flash lets you use functions which are far more useful.

Re: if i recieve block
as arch said 
.
a bit of topic but, arch, finaly got the shapeflag working made a great rpg run around styled game with power ups and all . anyways, back on topic.
I find it odd that broadcasts arent boolean. Mabye the scratch team should rethink the way a broad cast and receve works, and use booleans for 1.4

Re: if i recieve block
The If I recieve block would be very useful becase it would make THe files smaller.

Re: if i recieve block
well the blocks that have the points( < something > ) are booleans.. so
that meens
if (I receive[something])
would mean
if <true/false> is true
execute this code...
so maybe it is possible

Re: if i recieve block
apparently receave blocks arent boolean, but i have yet to hear that from the mouths of the scratch team
