Redirect to project ID *arg*

ScratchcatandGobo

Welcome to the forum for the “Redirect to project ID” Block. The Redirect to website block is rejected, so why not redirect to another project?
Type “Support” In the chat . And add the link to this is your Signature/Sig/Siggy

when I receive [part 2 v]
redirect to project ID (1234567890):: #12b63d cap

With this, it automaticly stops the program.

A browser pop up should ask whether you actually want to go to the project. Most browsers (probably all which Scratch is targeted towards) have a feature where if a website shows too many popups like that, you can click a checkbox which prevents anymore from being shown.

However, relying on a browser feature like that isn't a great solution. So in addition, the block should stop all in the project and stop the when greater then blocks, similar to before the green flag and see in side are pressed. That way, trickery with the timer > block can't spam you with messages even after hitting stop.

Let's have this actually be added in Scratch 4.0!

3 forum tips for experienced forumers (in no particular order):

If you are reporting a new forumer's topic to be closed, or moved to another forum, don't mention it, because then, the topic creator will think they will receive either an alert or a block.
New forumers won't immediately know the rules or terminology of the forums. I have seen this happen hundreds of times (exaggeratedly), especially when experienced forumers (I won't name any) tell new forumers that they are "necroposting", which is when someone posts on an old and resolved topic (especially in the Questions about Scratch forum), causing said topic to be moved to the front page of that forum.

Using Scratchblocks as a writing style is not blockspam, unless it is not relevant to the discussion. For example, this

ExampleScratcher1 wrote:
How do I make a smooth gliding animation?
when green flag clicked
repeat until <(my question) = [answered]>
ask [How do I make a smooth gliding animation?] and wait
end
say [Thank you!]

is not blockspam, but these

ExampleScratcher2 (first post) wrote:

when green flag clicked
move (58) steps
play sound [Stock Laughter Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
forever
play sound [Stock Screaming Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
switch backdrop to [internet v]
say [i broke the internet] for (2) secs
turn cw (15) degrees
go to [nearby restaurant v]
next costume
end

ExampleScratcher2 (second post) wrote:

when green flag clicked
repeat until <(out of dorito's) = [true]>
broadcast [eat dorito chip v]
end
say [IM OUT OF DORITO'S!!!!!!!!! :(]
play sound [Scream2 v] until done
forever
turn cw (120) degrees
play sound [Scream2 v]
play sound [we have no dorito's sorry v]
end

are blockspam, and must be reported.

It would not work. It would desplay an error message

I'm incredibly surprised you thought that would change anything, I guess you just didn't pay attention. Look more closely at the block inside the loop. Notice how there's nothing underneath it? Do you know what that means? It means that when that block is finished, nothing else runs. The only exception is the delete this clone block, which it doesn't run if you aren't a clone. Therefore, all this would do is execute the block once and stop the script.

No support to this specific idea, nothing else in scratch displays an error message. That would just be inconsistent, and there's a way better solution. This would be like if JavaScript displayed an error message when you press the enter key: there's no reason for that to happen.

Okay, your theory of what would happen is better. I would just leave it to that.

blocksworld had a feature like this too, I think. But I think it could only teleport people to one of your own projects.

found out:

/hj is the worst tone indicator. It's confusing and ambiguous. I hate it. The point of tone indicators is to indicate tone, or the way that a piece of text should be read, but what does “half joking” mean? Do you just wake up in the morning and think “wow, I really have something I want to talk about seriously but also kinda not, IDK you decide.” It's useless. I hate it. It just provokes a deep rooted anger within me whenever I see it. People just comment /hj as if it makes any sense. It doesn't. Oh wow, it's a tone indicator that's has a relative meaning, how useful, I'll use it in every comment I post. NO. STOP IT. You're a tone indicator, you have only one job, and yet you sit there doing nothing apart angering me.

/srs

^^^ (there's more below)
This one is useful because it tells you that this signature is fully 100% serious. (/srs) Who would've thought that tone indicators needed to tell you something about the piece of text they're attached to? /s

I'm serious, I'm not even going to put multiple (/hj)s a the end of my signature as to mock the previous paragraph for not getting the point of something(like previous version of my signature). /srs

You could do something like this:

when [timer v] > (-1)
if <not <(username) = [*owner's username*]>> then
redirect to project ID (1234567890):: #12b63d cap
end

and essentially disable starting the project, clicking see inside, or remixing. This is against the rules. You could also hide a script like this:

when [timer v] > (-1)
if <(name) = [*owner's username*]> then // this variable could just be a generic seeming variable like xVel
set [name v] to (username)
else
if <not <(username) = (name)>> then
redirect to project ID (1234567890):: #12b63d cap
end
end

in a random sprite. What this would do is prevent everyone from playing or clicking see inside a remix except the remixer so they won't know. That is against the rules. This would make it harder to find projects with these scripts so they might get away with it. I don't really see what this would add anyway. So yeah.

So you would report that project

What if the remixer doesn't:
1. know what causes that to happen?
2. find out?
3. know how to handle it?
4. find the script?
That would just rely too much on the remixers.

I don't know why everyone is quick to say “This can be used to ruin remixing!!!!”
Yes, it can, you just report those projects. It's like saying we should remove the stop all block because it can be used to make remixes unplayable.

This would be an interesting and fun feature, but how would it work in the offline editor? Would it download the destination project from the internet?

can we not just spam “use contact us” all over questions about scratch? it's really not helpful.

Except the stop all block doesn't redirect people to different pages and block see inside so only the original creator can find the script.

Except for the fact that only the remixer can access the code since it's also blocked.
