Helpful Workarounds for Frequently Suggested Blocks!
Not encoding, I can do that, I mean lists I can't figure out -snip-
It's actually simpler than you think. Rather than finding symbols that can be used in cloud variables, all you need is a function that will encode your letters/numbers/symbols as numbers. These numbers can be placed in the cloud variables. When you want to access the encoded value inside the cloud variable, use a decoder function that switches the encoded number back to the original value.
Here, I made this project that uses this process to make an infinite cloud server.
(However, I believe Scratch's cloud variables have a character limit, so this project will break in Vanilla Scratch if there are too many players. Use TurboWarp to run the “more” infinitely, lol.)
Probably not, they don't really seem to actually implement much that's majorly asked for. Many blocks have been suggested that have not been added. Maybe they will be in Scratch 4.0!Like manager abilities…
CONGRATS ON BEING THE 1000TH POST OF THIS TOPIC!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Let me try:WHA HOW DID YOU DO THAT? No workaround:(report script{when green flag clicked
forever
if <Following [dj_greener]?::sensing> then
Be awesome::grey
else
Be awesome::grey
end
end}::operators)
(dot dot dot (when green flag clicked :: hatHmm… Well, I can get one block in a reporter.
move (10) steps::stack motion) :: sensing)
Just surround the block with () like a regular input, then add :: followed by the block type. (e.g. “hat” “stack” “reporter” “boolean” etc.)
It works the same way as adding any other kind of block into an input. (It just usually can't be done with stack blocks or hat blocks, which is why it stands out)
Like this!
((1) + (clear graphic effects :: stack))
((1) + (clear graphic effects :: stack))But this isn't the place to do this, so if you want to continue you could head to my profile?
And just to bu- [oops] this up, again, is there any workaround for <key [/ v] pressed ?> ?

Thisisacharacteraccount!SometimesIenduppostingonthisoneanywayjust'causeIhappenedtobehereatthetime,soifyouseethisit'sprobablynotthecharacter talking.
Fun fact: When you invert the colors of the stop sign and flag, they reverse.
The green flag is red flag and red stop is green stop.
See? The corners are rounded. ezgif doesn't really do a good job on it though lol it's really hard to see.
HEY. IT'S CLEAR. HOW'D IT DO THAT?
YAAAAAY
Uhh anyway- I just FINALLY learned how to post images now so now I want to use it lots.

bounce :: motioncan be made with this script:
point in direction ((direction) - (180)
turn around 180 just makes it backward but when collide with wall is meant to go forward (ya know, like if you hit the wall at a 170º degree)

There are some, but I have NO idea how. I tried, and I can't find a symbol that will save in cloud variables to separate each item of the list. I think I can save usernames, but that's not a cloud list. How do I make cloud lists? Any workarounds? (That saves)(☁ score)(list :: list)
It's actually simpler than you think. Rather than finding symbols that can be used in cloud variables, all you need is a function that will encode your letters/numbers/symbols as numbers. These numbers can be placed in the cloud variables.

(However, I believe Scratch's cloud variables have a character limit, so this project will break in Vanilla Scratch if there are too many players. Use TurboWarp to run the “more” infinitely, lol.)
Thanks for the help! But can you at least try to show how to do it in the forums? It doesn't need to be the fanciest, just fuctional. Thanks! When I mean a tutorial in the forums, I mean something like this:
when green flag clicked
say [Hello! This is just a test!] for (2) secs

I don't exactly know which forum to suggest things… But I'd like to suggest adding on to the looks block: change/set __ by __. How this block has change ghost effect, color effect, mosaic effect, etc. Could an option be added to the blocks for blurring as well? It would be incredibly helpful (because usually I would have to go to a picture editor and animate the blur), thank you!

Also… Could you add another block where it inverts the colors? Like black to white, and white to black, etc.? I've tried to do this with the blocks we already have, but the end result requires to create separate costumes, which doesn't exactly work out because when the next page is clicked, it just goes to the same page with inverted colors which wouldn't be what I want. Thank you for reading my suggestions!

Yes.. I think that would be an excellent idea! Because it makes thumbnails a lot easier, especially for those where if you click stop, the thumbnail bounces down or whatever
