Do together block

BTTests

Isn't it kinda annoying when you have to do something like

when I receive [ derp v]
say [herro]

and

when I receive [ derp v]
think [it takes way too long to make something on scratch go at the same time]

How bout something like a do together block (in “if <blah> then” block form but having being able to hold more than one block at a time horizontally)

Good Idea, You mean it would look like this?

when I receive [derp v]
say [Herro] say [Herro]

Scratch is a teaching language. You're going to have trouble finding a language in which concurrency is even close to as easy as it already is in Scratch. If you don't want to drag out a broadcast hat to spawn a thread, that thread's probably not worth spawning anyway.

No support.

You mean like this?

do together :: c control // This should be a c block...
say [Hello!] for (2) secs
play note (60 v) for (1) beats

end

If so, we have the same brains. Support. In this case, 1 is better than 2. I'm sorry, Julianthewiki.

BTTests

No I mean a block shaped like an “E” like the if else block

Do you know how to make two things run at the same time? I can't seem to figure it out…

BookOwl

You mean like

run :: cstart control
...
and ::celse
...
and ::celse
...
at the same time ::cend

Please don't necropost. Instead, post your questions in either the Help With Scripts forum or Questions about Scratch forum.

I support this as long as you can extend the e block.

Well, this got necroposted.
Mockup:

do together{

}{

}::control

[scratchblocks]
do together{

}{

}::control
[/scratchblocks]

Full support, would help when making codes.

Again, no such thing as necroposting in suggestions.

This is the same as an “All at once” block.

A duplicate of this thread was closed as rejected. I will report this to be closed by extension. Anyone else think that maybe this should be added to TOLoRS?

No, it's very different.
