Hey!

The scratchblocks plugin has been updated since this topic was started, so I'll give you a few updates:

First, cstart, celse and cend seem not to have any effect anymore. Take a look:

[scratchblocks]
test cstart :: cstart
    ...
test celse :: celse
    ...
test cend :: cend
[/scratchblocks] 

makes

test cstart :: cstart
    ...
test celse :: celse
    ...
test cend :: cend

.
The only way to make your own C blocks now is to use curly braces {}, like this:

[scratchblocks]
test cstart {
    ...
} test celse {
    ...
} test cend
[/scratchblocks] 

test cstart {
    ...
} test celse {
    ...
} test cend

which (to me, since I've worked with JavaScript) makes a lot more sense.

Second, directly because of this, curly braces {} don't work as block inputs anymore, see:

[scratchblocks]
here is a block with what used to be a block input {block}
[/scratchblocks] 

here is a block with what used to be a block input {block}

so instead. you can actually use parentheses () and inside them specify that the input is a block!

[scratchblocks]
here is a block with what is now a block input (block :: stack) :: control // 'cause I want to differentiate the colors
[/scratchblocks] 

here is a block with what is now a block input (block :: stack) :: control // 'cause I want to differentiate the colors

Third, to control the type of a “if – else – finally” block, you just put the :: at the end, like this:

[scratchblocks]
test cstart {
    ...
} test celse {
    ...
} test cend :: control
[/scratchblocks] 

test cstart {
    ...
} test celse {
    ...
} test cend :: control

Finally, here is a rewrite of @theonlygusti 's code, the way I think he meant it to be:

[scratchblocks]
when gf clicked :: operators hat
wait until (this block :: looks stack) turns purple {
    say hi! :: sound stack
} and then {
    use the colors {
        to make life :: motion stack
    } :: custom-arg
} finally :: extension
stop :: grey cap
[/scratchblocks]

when gf clicked :: operators hat
wait until (this block :: looks stack) turns purple {
    say hi! :: sound stack
} and then {
    use the colors {
        to make life :: motion stack
    } :: custom-arg
} finally :: extension
stop :: grey cap

@theonlygusti , I respect you for being the only one I've found that actually deliberately explained all the scratchblocks techniques. Here is an update for everyone who reads this topic!

[scratchblocks]
::#000000
::#ffffff
[/scratchblocks]

::#000000
::#ffffff

Another thing: you can now set blocks to other colors. For example, to make a block black or white:

::#000000
::#ffffff

Just use the hexadecimal code instead of a category.

Hmm… I didn't knew that!

Yeah, it doesn't seem to even be on the Wiki page yet, so it must be pretty new.

But you can still do something like;

When {When gf clicked} clicked::events hat

[scratchblocks]
When {When gf clicked} clicked::events hat
[/scratchblocks]

To make them go inside other blocks.

[scratchblocks]
When {When gf clicked} clicked::events hat
[/scratchblocks]

When {When gf clicked} clicked::events hat

[scratchblocks]
When {When gf clicked} clicked::events
[/scratchblocks]

When {When gf clicked} clicked::events

Thanks, @monstermash3, for reminding me about this. Yes, you can set blocks to specific RGB hex colors. Enjoy.

That's all!

I think all aspects of the new [scratchblocks] plugin have been covered in the OP. Thus, bumping for update!

Sprite1: define one thing//local custom block
Sprite1: define one thing ::custom ::hat
Sprite1: define one thing ::hat ::custom
Sprite1: define one thing ::hat ::custom//local custom block
define something else//global custom block
Sprite1: define one thing//Sorry, but [scratchblocks] is not cooperating.
[/scratchblocks]
What's your advice for this?
