Do you mean this?

move ()() steps :: motion

If so, what would it do?

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.

No, I think he means

move sprite [ v] () steps :: motion

In the dropdown you would select which sprite to move.

Support. Currently the only workaround I see is the use of broadcasts, so this would really be great!

It feels weird to see how far we've come. I hope you're well, wherever you are!

Maybe instead just have a block that tells another sprite to do anything, rather than just moving steps.

make sprite [ v] do {
} ::control

If that block existed then you could do this:

make sprite [ v] do {
move () steps
} ::control

Well, I imagine a suggestion like that would result in scriptless sprites, meaning everything is done in the stage XD

That is possible… however, you have to make at least one sprite to make it work.
How? Use clones!

I actually wouldn't mind having something like that. I could have one sprite dedicated for scripts, followed by a couple of sprites that contain just assets. I already do something similar with my animations, however the asset sprites still have some code inside the sprite itself.
