This looks very similar to Boolean variables.

Already discussed. This is not a dupe it’s even in the post, it is somewhat similar but it is different as this suggests many many more blocks

Flags/switches are an entirely different system independent from variables

Pretty good!
The switch on block would have a toggle function built in so there’s no reason for it to be there

Flags are an entirely different system independent from variables

The Boolean variables suggestion doesn't say that those variables would be in the same category as normal variables and have the same set of blocks to modify them. It's only a concept, which makes sense, because the exact UX will be designed by the Scratch Team once the suggestion is implemented.

This is a very good workaround for boolean variables, and boolean variables are a very good workaround for this. Either could be implemented, wouldn't make a difference.

I prefer this because of the fact they would not interfere with variables. So you wouldn't be making new variables . Kinda like broadcasts

Boolean variables could also be separate from normal variables, just like lists are.
