How would having the drop-down be different from this?
define move [direction]
if <(direction)=[up]> :: control
point in direction (0 v)
move (10) steps
end
if <(direction)=[down]> :: control
point in direction (180 v)
move (10) steps
end
when green flag clicked
move [down]
The only benefit of having the drop-down would be that project creator doesn't need to remember all of the options for the string. Usually, there aren't many options and all of the options are related. I don't support because it takes some work to add this feature and it is not useful enough.

It's just so you don't have to type the words in the block but rather just a few clicks.

It saves time.

move [up v] :: custom

move [down v] :: custom

Support! Drop-downs would simplify things and make sure you don't accidentally misspell a word.

There is a way to use dropdowns in custom blocks. Go to this website, and go to the custom block creator.

Support! It's already possible to do this by using hacked blocks though, I think.

You can actually hack to do this, (don't ask me how) but the hack doesn't let you do anything with it. There's also the problem of filling up the dropdown, assuming they non-hack implement it. For now, reporters and strings work fien.

If we can get a good, simple way for this to be added, then you have my support.

You can do it if you want thru %m.list or whatever it is.

Support for the reasons above, there would also have to be a “create an option…” button if this would be added to Scratch.

I have about 3450 posts, 90 shared projects, 180 total created/followed topics, and 425 followers.

Having 1,2,3 for dropdowns seems hard for me and
If i use up,down then a spell mistake can make bugs.

Support. I think a drop down menu for when you want to make a drop-down should be a thing and you should be able to define all of the drop-downs.

MrSquirrelDeDuck

Great Idea! This gets my support, But! you could use other drop-downs like costumes, sounds, lists, and other to not have to add something to the drop-down every time you add something!

define Dropdown Example: [Costumes]
if <(Costumes) = [Cat]> then
Say [Cat!] for (2) secs
end
if <(Costumes) = [Horse]> then
Say [Horse!] for (2) secs
end


When gf clicked
Dropdown Example: [Cat! v]
Dropdown Example: [Horse! v]

Or something like that!

suport

by this logic, we can remove

move (10) steps

why not just use

go to x: ((x position) + ([cos v] of ((direction) * (10)))) y: ((y position) + ([sin v] of ((direction) * (10))))

i mean jeez so simple

This has been supported since 2014; the year where I was starting on Scratch!!

I think it should be added for the convenience of it, instead of using specific strings or numbers.

Seriously, Scratch. This thread is 5 years old. Take a look.

Support, this would be very useful in many situations. Why hasn't it been added yet after all this time?

This bug was patched in v423 of Scratch and no longer works.

It used to be in 2.0 but then they patched it. Might've been a good glitch to fully add in, lol.
