Repeat until message received block

Supreme_Scratcher

I think it would be cool if there was a block that let you run or stop a script when a message has been broadcasted.

For example:

when green flag clicked

repeat until <message1>
move (10) steps
end

Would it be

<message [ v] received? :: events>

If it is, it's rejected…

Sorry, you have to wait 120 seconds between posts.

It's not in the editor, it's possible to color the blocks on the forums.

Not necessarily! That block was rejected due to its ambiguity in if(-else) blocks, but it'd work perfectly in wait and repeat until blocks. In fact, they're typically why the block is suggested in the first place.

There's a pretty easy workaround for this.

when I receive [message 1 v]
set [message v] to [1]
when green flag clicked
repeat until <(message) = [1]>
ysh
end

You could use variables instead of messages. No support.

Thanks for the link! It does look like this is a duplicate topic so I'll close it to keep the conversation all in one place.

Please use the existing topic in the link above.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.
