Replace "Looks" blocks

Reasons:
  1. If there's a “next costume block”, why isn't there a “previous costume” block?
  2. Why doesn't it have the option to specify the amount of costumes to skip?
  3. The above implies that this “next costume” block is quite inconsistent and unnecessary.
Although I am aware that there are many posts suggesting to add “previous” costume, I am instead suggesting a new thing - instead of the rather specific
next costume
,
I propose a new block which would replace “next costume”:
switch costume to costume #[ ]
What do you think?

Easily workaroundable. No support.

switch costume to ((costume #) - (1))

What if costume # != costume name?

(!= means not equal to)

And I don't get why out of all potential relative costume-switching blocks, “next costume” is chosen.

Support for
Switch costume to []::looks 
Because I don't like having to look at the costume name every time I want to add the old block.

switch costume to [ v]
can already do number input - just set a variable equal to a number and move the variable into the dropdown to plug it in.

There isn't a problem when costume # != costume name. There is a problem when costume # does == costume name.

If you put a number into the switch costume block, first it will look for a costume named that number. If it can't find one, then it switches to the costume at that number.

Because its not talking about costume names. It's talking about the costume order in the list of costumes in the “costume” tab.

Did you even read the post? I'm not suggesting previous costume blocks.

And what if costume name != costume number?

What if you want to keep their names? Then you would have to do
repeat until <(costume #) = (desired costume)>
next costume
end

Then it wouldn't be a workaround for
switch costume to costume # [ ]
any more…
