Extension to send messages

savaka

Another extension with only one block:

send me a message: [Message] :: extension

When it is run it sends you, the project owner, a message saying:

Your project [project name] sent you a message: “Message” [time]

If it runs while you are seeing inside before you remix (when the orange “Remix” button is visible) it will do nothing.

Duplicate messages in 1 minute ignored maybe?

I don't really see what use this would have.

Maybe to see when someone's playing your project, or who? (Both have workarounds though) Or if there was a love-it block then you could be notified when someone's loved your project. Oh wait…

It sounds as if it sends the message to the project's creator.

Support, although I suppose it would be the user's responsibility not to make projects that spam them with messages.

Could you give an example of when this would be used, please?

You are correct that it sends the message to the project's creator.

EXAMPLE (since everyone here wants one): You make a really hard game and want to list the first few players who completed the game in the notes, and so you make this at the end of the game:

send me a message: (join (username) [ won the game]) :: extension

The rule where it won't run while you're seeing inside will prevent cheating.

Lol then someone could be like

Open fiddler
Capture request to send message
Write code to forge the request
```
while(true) sendForgedRequest();
```

In other words: no support

You can hack that as much as you can hack anything else.

when green flag clicked
forever
send me a message: [ChocolatePi is now following you.] :: extension
end

but what if I"m not actually following you? oohh…

My point: You could use this to forge real messages, such as alerts.

It is only sent to the project creator so that would be pointless.

when green flag clicked
ask [What would you like to send?] and wait
send me a message: (answer) :: extension

And it would be sent as “Untitled-5 sent you a message: ‘this is what I want to send’”
