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

If you really want to do something like this, instead just make a variable and set it to 1 and use the equals 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?

This is my signature. It appears below all my posts. Discuss it on my profile, not the forums. Here's how to make your own.
.postsignature { overflow: auto; } .scratchblocks { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }

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

Yes

how do I make that block?

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

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]

wait until I receive [ v] :: events

repeat until I receive [ v] {
