Bring back the Forever If block!

What do you need it for that you can't do now?

Just put an IF block inside a FOREVER block.

Problem solved.

correction put in if/else block inside a forever block with BoltBait's method the condition will always execute with the if/else you can put a stop block

No need to correct my code. Ever.

What about old projects that use the block and I just think it's more efficient.

Why did they even get rid of it anyways

We put it in there b/c we noticed people using “if” blocks with no forever, and getting confused about why they didn't seem to work (the if checks the condition once in the first instant, and then finishes execution). But after asking a lot of educators if this helped, we got mixed reviews, so we decided to take it out.

Oops, sorry for necroposting that was a mistake

No Support.

They got rid of it because it was to ambiguous. Even I was a little confused by it. Does it mean while? Whenever <> becomes true? The first time <> becomes true, do this forever?

yep, that sums it up. this has been asked many times (i even asked then i leaned it used to be on scratch) and yeah that's about it.

forever if <>
    
end

Sorry forever-if rest in peace.
