more blocks [effect reporter]
Set a variable to a random value and use the variable value in both of the blocks.What if you do this-:DNote: You shouldn't have added that, people often browse only no reply topics.
Anyway, semi-support. There is a way around it, even if it isn't terribly convenient: every time you change a effect, also change a variable.change [color v] effect by (pick random (1) to (10))What do you do?Change [color effect v] by (pick random (1) to (10))
Still support, this is terribly inconvenient.

Actually no… Is “reportationalizationality” even a word? This has been suggested time and time again, so… support, actually. It boggles the mind that so many blocks have reporters like this, but not the graphic effects ones. In a language like Scratchblocks, we shouldn't have to create unneeded variables for values of existing block functions like this arbitrarily excluded quintuple-reportationalizationality. Get my gist?
Anyway, support for
([color v] effect::looks)

Support! I don't understand why we don't already have one.
I'm just a little cosmic hamster from Planet NO, which is in another dimension. Are you, too?

Check out my games, if you want to. I make sure to share a cool variety, but even though I haven't shared much, I try to make each one count, but they can only count to 7 so far.

So I'm working on this game. And the way you beat a level is by making it to a red stop sign. Now, in the second level, I have enemies crossing the screen. The way I make them different colors is by running this block:
Ok?
But here is the issue. The enemy…can become the color of the stop sign.
A fix for this would involve a new block, that could be handy for many other things too.
Not that ↑↑↑ block. But that block shows that the effect blocks are used to change invisible variables, right? They have a “change __ by” and a “set __ to”, right? So that would mean that, like a variable, they should have one of these babies to go with it.
With these, you could insert the numerical value of the effects into codes like this one:
With that code, my project would be fixed! Assuming red was 10, I don't think it is. But it would allow a code to run when an effect is a certain number, because it IS a variable after all. So if the color was red, or 10, then it would run the new code and the number would change. They just need a Boolean for it!
So, what do you guys think? Necessary? Or is there an easy workaround. Tell me down THERE ↓↓↓ in those lovely New Reply boxes! Thanks!
change [color v] effect by (pick random (5) to (50))

(color)Or maybe,
(fisheye)And
(ghost)
With these, you could insert the numerical value of the effects into codes like this one:
when green flag clicked
forever
if <(color) = [10 ]> then
set [color v] effect to (pick random (1) to (100))
end
end
With that code, my project would be fixed! Assuming red was 10, I don't think it is. But it would allow a code to run when an effect is a certain number, because it IS a variable after all.

No support, easy workaround. Sorry!
when green flag clicked
set [looks.color v] to (10)
set [color v] effect to (10)
if <(looks.color)=(10)>
say[The color is red! Or orange, or whatever.]

I agree that this would be a good new feature. I actually created my own topic about this without realizing that this one already existed.
Sadly, my signature eloped with an attractive kumquat
