"Go to Front" For Variables and Lists

BigglesBooks

There should be a “Go to front” block for variables and lists.

(Go to front)

when green flag clicked
forever
set [Brain Power v] to [Infinity]
broadcast [I'm Coding Now v]
wait (0) secs
Code!
end

The “show variable” and “show list” blocks make the variable or list go to the front layer.

Here is the workaround:

show foo ::custom
define show foo
hide variable [foo v]
show variable [foo v]

What I'm referring to is the

go back (5) layers

block, but it could be used for variables and lists as well. For example, you've created a website. It may have a sprite (ex: image of California) go to front, and you don't want the variable to show when the image of California hides again in case it was on a different page. (For the image of California may be able to go to front on any page, but the variable on only one. The website could get really buggy with variables showing on the wrong page, that's all. Just an idea.

Semi-support. What would this be used for?

Soory… still no make sense

No support, variables are mostly meant to store data, and not for displaying data. And as stated, there is an easy work around.

There are incredibly easy workarounds - This isn't really necessary either, and like @StrangeMagic32 said, variables are mostly meant to store data. No support.

How do I make it so my variable numbers go to the front so its not hidden at the back?

broadcast [think v]
when I receive [think v]
if <(idea) = [true]> then
broadcast [work v]
else
wait until <(idea) = [true]>

end
when I receive [work v]
if <(idea) = [able to create]> then

You can do the following code:
Method one (making a block)

define bring score to front
hide variable [score v]
show variable [score v]

Then you could use the block you made in the project.

Method two (easier)

hide variable [score v]
show variable [score v]

You can put that code wherever and it will bring the variable to the front layer.
