How to hack your own magic custom blocks
Yep, you can literally put any reporter block in there and it will work as intended. A join block would even let you slip any block in with the editor, nice idea!thanks! and you win!yeah it is easy, all you do is input a join block for strings to be there.

Here's a tip you can open json files directly in Eclipse and possibly other SDKs so that helps because it's hard to read in notepad.

You can also use Xcode, TextEdit, or Terminal (vim/pico/nano) on Mac—dunno about Windows.

How to hack your own magic custom blocks
Does anyone know where I can get a free text editor that supports the JSON text? My notepad can't read it XDWhat version of notepad do you have?
MIne reads it fine. It just comes out as text which it is meant to.
What does your one do?
I have the default notepad from windows XP. By can't read I meant notepad flattened the code, so that it was all in 2 lines.

How do you open .json file? it doesn't have the ‘right program’ to view it.You can open it any text editor. I prefer wordpad.

How to hack your own magic custom blocks
If you hack the set variable block, you can use it to create new variables. There is no use for it though because you can't hack the variable reporter to allow input.I already made a project using that.
