Improving broadcasts

dhfbei8987

You have my full support. The workaround would most likely malfunction, and this helps target broadcasts at certain sprites.

My only concern is….. Could you do it to two sprites with one block?

No edit and king of the page!

No, but you would be able to just do this for the same effect:

broadcast [message1 v] to [Sprite1 v] :: events
broadcast [message1 v] to [Sprite2 v] :: events

Semi-Support. I use variables for these type of things. for example a
when brodcast recived
if = DIS SPRITE CAN RECIVE IT? = 1
then do da thing
else

Support! I would use this to run large games needing a bridge to other sprites.

Who cares about broadcasting for only specific sprites? You can easily ignore it, what we really need is a broadcast reporting Data values or is useless aside from changing scenes.

broadcast [ a message with data v] (Data) ::events

when I receive [A message with data v] (Data) ::events hat
play sound (Data)

Theres a post actually a lot similar just with a different name that here

there's a workaround:

when gf clicked
set [broadcast to whatever sprite v] to (0)
...
set [broadcast to whatever sprite v] to (1)
if <(broadcast to whatever sprite) = (1)> then
...

which is similar to

send [ v] to [ v] :: events

but some new scratchers probably wouldn't know what variables are

That workaround does not work at all.

I don't see why we need this, you can have one sprite listening.

For projects with lots of broadcasts (I have one that has over 40 broadcasts) it's annoying to have to sort through all 40 when most are only being used by specific sprites.

This would definitely make the broadcast drop-down lest cluttered, but is it that useful? I personally don't really mind if 1 broadcast is for 1 sprite but is still in the editor for others.

Are you a Masochist but want to have less broadcast in the drop-down menu? Make an array of events and an array for sign if checked.

sorry, I mean this could work, script for first sprite:

set [broadcast to sprite v] to (1)

script for second sprite:

if <(broadcast to sprite) = (1)> then
...
wait (0.001) secs
set [broadcast to sprite v] to (0)

then if you want to broadcast to that sprite multiple times just make multiple variables

support. This would be very useful and make it so you don't have to make a ton of broadcasts

It could be useful, even if there's a workaround. There's no downside to adding this.

Options for 2nd dropdown:
all - sends broadcast to all sprites
name of a sprite - sends a broadcast to that specific sprite
myself - sends a broadcast only to the sprite that sent the broadcast
stage - sends a broadcast to the stage
support. This would be very useful and make it so you don't have to make a ton of broadcasts

Don't quote the op, or at least snip it.
