I want you to reshape the “broadcast” block. from this

broadcast [ v]

to this.

broadcast [ v] ::events cap

Why do you want it to be changed? Would it do the same thing as this?

broadcast [ v]
stop [this script v]

[CODE REMOVED]

No Support. If you want a sprite finishes it's job after broadcast a thing, then don't put any script after “broadcast” button!

I'm not sure how preventing people from accessing blocks would be a good idea. What if I wanted to add more blocks after it? The way it is now is 10 times better.

Umm. every single project I have seen uses code after the broadcasts, it would be super hard to make projects if you do this, because you would have to do this,

when this sprite clicked
broadcast [Hi v]
say [hello!] for (2) secs
 
// would be much easier to do then

 
when this sprite clicked
set [Hi v] to [1]
broadcast [Hi v] :: cap ::

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(Hi) = [1]> then
say [hello!] for (2) secs
set [hi v] to (0)
end
end

may I ask why?

Put reasons.

And if I don't, I just don't have to put code after the broadcast block. Easy enough, right?

No support, at all.

Please explain why this would be helpful in any way. If you don't want code after your broadcast block, then just don't put code after it. Why restrict people who want code after it?

But why?

I agree. No Support, this would restrict many people.

I dont think that will work, you would not be aable to keep on coding on that script.

No Support.
Why would you want this? This just seems pointless and will take away from the block. Blocks only have that shape if it is impossible for any code to run after them (forever, stop all/this script, etc.) so this just wouldn’t make sense.
Oh, and…

it will confuse new scratchers
I hate it when people use that reason.
because they’ll be like
“Why can’t I put any code after here?”
It’s just a bad idea.

why did I write this much

No support.

When coding things, I like to use two broadcasts at the start: one for the initialization, and another for the actual game:

when green flag clicked
broadcast [init v]
broadcast [begin v]

If we reshape the broadcast block to a cap,then things become more complicated:

when green flag clicked
broadcast [init v] :: cap

when I receive [init v]
do stuff :: grey
broadcast [begin v] :: cap // and what if I need to add more things after this?

Just don't add another block if you don't want anything else to happen after the broadcast.

I sort of hope so.

Maybe they just wanted to make a post?

I didn't think this.
This is a big possibility…

I suggested this because there are not many cap blocks

You didn't need to suggest this if there aren't many caps.
There are less cap blocks because they are enough to Scratch. We don't need any other cap block for now.
