I'd like a <Last Broadcast=[]>. It would work well if you want it to do one thing if the last broadcast was ___ and another thing if the last broadcast was ____. You could use something like

When ___ clicked
If <Last Broadcast=[Move -10 Steps]>
Move 10 steps
If <Last Broadcast=[Move 10 Steps]>
Move -10 steps.

(It would be a boolean)
I'm sure there's already a bypass for this, but Scratch is about being easy, right? And this has already probably been suggested, so if this is a duplicate, please tell me and I'll delete it.

Done. Simple enough wink

Just set the variable "Last Broadcast" to whatever you're broadcasting every time you broadcast something. ;D

And if it was going to be a custom block, it'd be a built-in variable, not a boolean, so you could do more with it like string manipulation and the like. smile

It would probably be better to just do (last broadcast).

1.) You'd have to have many variables, and this'd work for a game that would include a lot of this.
2.) Greenatic, but then you wouldn't be able to make a difference if the last broadcast were, let's say Broadcast1 than Broadcast2. It wouldn't make a purpose...

You mean (last broadcast), right?

Because <last broadcast> would just say true/false, while (last broadcast) says the broadcast.

I believe (last broadcast) will be more efficient, because you can just combine it with <[] = []>

Death_Wish · 2011-09-05 19:09:19

Oh, yeah, I guess (last broadcast) would be better, but probably harder to make.

Yeah, I'll fix that.

<(last broadcast) = [ ]>. Plus, you would be able to manipulate it as a string, etc.

EDIT: Sorry DeathWish, didn't see your last post.

And actually, it wouldn't be any harder. In fact, the code would even be a little shorter!

Hey sci! Could you try making this and adding it to the block library?

You mean someone already made it?

Yes.

What's the default value? I mean, what does it report if no broadcast has been sent? Nil? Green flag?

Whatever you saved the image with. tongue

JJROCKER · 2011-09-08 09:43:15

I like the idea.

LS97 · 2011-09-08 13:05:26

I think that, with the advent of procedures and BYOB in Scratch 2.0, it will be easy to put cpumaster's script into a custom block. That would be the ideal solution to this problem that has been asked so many times!
