"Run, and run" E block (READ THE ENTIRE OP BEFORE POSTING)
Exactly, thank you. The workaround does not work with custom blocks.

"Run, and run" E block (READ THE ENTIRE OP BEFORE POSTING)
I kind of see what you mean nowNo support because of easy workaroundsYou shouldn't not support something JUST because of a workaround.. especially when the “workaround” you posted isn't even a proper workaround.
Read the posts and all of the OP, please.This block's main use is to make custom blocks able to run multiple scripts.
And, as you may know, custom blocks are different from broadcasts because with custom blocks you can add boolean inputs and string inputs. You could only use those inputs when you define the custom block.
So, basically broadcasts can't carry over what you input in the custom block unless you use variables or something but like bruh.
(sorry)

i hate having to create broadcasts just to do 2 things at the same time

Support! While I have never encountered the problem with custom blocks (because I often don't use them) I am tired of using that workaround with two forever loops, so major support!

Support. But wait, will it increase the lag, especially in “run with no screen refresh” custom blocks, since techically the system doesn't run two scripts at the same time and stuff?

Well yeah, but the difference won't even be that noticeable. But wait, will it increase the lag, especially in “run with no screen refresh” custom blocks, since techically the system doesn't run two scripts at the same time and stuff?

duplicate. Please continue the discussion over there! Scratch on! –Explosion–This topic seems to be a
Well… yes and no.
Same concept, but he was wanting this block:
which only runs one block, not scripts
Also, it doesn't specify clearly in the OP what is wanted, so you have to scroll further down.

This would be substantially useful and it seems others agree with that statement, I’d love to see the addition of this block in the future.

As a person who hasn't used custom blocks in a while, why would using variables be an issue? So, basically broadcasts can't carry over what you input in the custom block unless you use variables or something but like bruh.

Having to make a variable for every single argument in your custom block is beyond tedious and isn't ideal. Having so many variables could cause your variable list to clutter up.As a person who hasn't used custom blocks in a while, why would using variables be an issue? So, basically broadcasts can't carry over what you input in the custom block unless you use variables or something but like bruh.
Also, using variables means that you can only run a custom block when it isn't already running, otherwise your variables will change from the other custom block of the same type running, and you'd be left scratching your head wondering why your game doesn't work.
It's hard to put into words, at least for me, but trust me, using variables restricts you, which could lead to the breaking of your game, as well as clutters your variable list making your game as a whole just that bit more unorganized.
Thank you! This would be substantially useful and it seems others agree with that statement, I’d love to see the addition of this block in the future.

No support. I also think this is a dupe, I can't find it though.
You can just use broadcasts.
