Better Procedural Blocks (pretty much functions in scratch)

I think that when creating a project there should be many more ways to create your own blocks, like the new(ish) Define() block, but with many more options.

At the moment we only have options to create very simple Stack Blocks, but I think we should be able to create any blocks we wanted to, the most useful probably being Boolean Blocks, yet Hat Blocks and Reporter Blocks would also be very interesting and beneficial.

I would just like to see an option to create other kinds of blocks that would make scratching easier, here's a (bad, but I hope you get the idea) example:



Sorry that my editing skills are so bad, but i hope you get the idea that I just think it would make everything so much easier if you had much more freedom with custom blocks. If you feel like this is a cool idea please contribute your own .

Curious why you say that Booleans and more important than reporters.

However, this topic already exists. Let's try this one.

Do you mean there should be more different “types” of blocks?
