The switch block would be like lists but also like variables basically there would be this block
The hat block does not need to be implemented but it would be nice

You would be able to name switches similar to variables
This idea comes from the flag nodon in game builder garage
basically this would act as a second variable type, this is a thing in multiple programming languages so I think it should be added

This is NOT a dupe of https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/20351/
As this suggest many more blocks and is more fleshed out


Old post:

(flag (1 v) :: #be58cc

And also this block

set flag ( 1 v) to (true v) :: #be58cc

It would be a drop down with 3 options

True, false, and toggle.
So instead of making 200 variables for true or false use flags!

This still applies ^

Some extra blocks

when flag (1 v) is (true v):: #be58cc  hat

<[value v] of flag ( 1 v)>:: #be58cc booleen 

The drop down is value or true/false

Some extra blocks coming soon as well as colors

Couldn't you just use variables?

So it's a variable with less uses?

Not exactly it’s like broadcasts but they stay on or off

The entire point is to reduce variables because 90% of all my variables are for true or false.

when flag (… v) is true :: events hat
wait until <flag (… v) is (false v) :: list>
say (flag (… v) :: list) :: looks

support?

Please link it then and that isn't a duplicate this is suggesting a hat block to go along with it.

I think it should be named something other than “flag” to prevent confusion with the existing “green flag” in the Scratch player.

Ok! I am having a little trouble with coming up with a name, and flag is the name for something like this in most programming languages

Maybe on off or toggle? That’s would look weird and interfere with the block options tho

How about a switch? idk

Eh
I still think flag is best

Another thing, green flag is not mentioned that much it’s always just

 @greenFlag ::cap grey

And not green flag

I think they mean this topic: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/8618/ since flags are another name for booleans, but I don’t think that’s what they’re suggesting.

Yes, this would be an entirely new system similar to variables but would not interfere with them

Tip: you can use ::extension to color blocks like an extension

So like this?
