Suggestion for the if <> then block (25+ support, 3 semi, 1 no)

BlockWare

Support, it is in every decent programming language besides Scratch.
Just make sure to end with “else”

Support! This would be a great block to have!

Support; this would save a LOT of lag.

I think: in many cases, a chain of if blocks is enough. The only difference between this and your block is that if-block chains may have multiple of the if blocks run. So, semi-support.

ooOOOOOOhh! I like this block!

Dont see the need, so no support.

Support! But maybe rather than needing to right-click it could be sort of variadic, like:

That idea could be a good way to code scorekeepers. For example without that you would have to do scripts like this. (Which don't work, trust me.) I am using the same example as the first post but without the suggestion it would be like this.

when green flag clicked
if <(score) = [10]> then 
say [Not bad.] for (2) secs  
end


when green flag clicked
if <(score) = [100 ]> then
say [Perfect score!] for (2) secs
end

And so on.

Because this would cause lag:

Because this would cause lag:

[Insert really long if-else spammation here]

It would save a LOT of lag, but only if someone was crazy enough to ever need 27 nested if-else statements. All that's happening is a solution to a problem that doesn't really happen.

It would also take a lot of lag to use your solution.

I dont support OP, but I'll support this, as it doesn't require left-clicking.

The spam part is what i agree with so some support for a limit.
