this is what I mean:

if <I recieve [message1 v]> then

end

easy workaround.

when I receive [message v]
...::grey

Sorry, but there is too much ambiguity for this block-

No support. Workaround stated below;

when I receive [message1 v]
set [message1 v] to [1]
when green flag clicked
set [message1 v] to [0]
forever
if <(message1) = [1]> then
. . .
end
end

Also, please read the stickies first.

How long does this boolean stay true once its corresponding broadcast is broadcasted?

Support ONLY for

if  I receive [ v] then {say [example]} end if <> :: events

I believe this is the equivalent of:

when I receive [ v]
repeat until <>
. . .
end

Sorry, but your suggestion is being rejected by stickies:

Use workarounds above

Please agree to the sticky

how do I make that block?

It's rejected, because there's too much ambiguity to how it'd work.

Read the sticky,this is a rejected suggestion.

U mean Like this

if <when I receive [message1 v]> then
...
end

No Support. There is a lot of confusion on how this would work. Would the block turn true for only half a second, then false? Or will it turn true forever after the broadcast being received? Or will the Boolean turn true at the start of the broadcasts, and false at the end? We don't know how this is supposed to work.

// Half A Second

when I receive [broadcast v]
set [received? v] to [true]
wait (0.5) secs
set [received? v] to [false]

when I receive [broadcast v]
...

// Forever After Receiving:

when gf clicked
set [received? v] to [false]

when I receive [broadcast v]
set [received? v] to [true]
...

// Only During Broadcast:

when gf clicked
set [received? v] to [false]

when I receive [broadcast v]
set [received? v] to [true]
...
set [received? v] to [false]

However, the ones not rejected are:

if I receive [ v] {

} :: events

wait until I receive [ v] :: events

repeat until I receive [ v] {
...
} :: events

What? How would this block work?

It's a rejected suggestion.
