support.
However, it is possible to change ‘for all sprites’ to ‘this sprite only’ by backpacking a sprite and putting it back in a project using another sprite with a ‘this sprite only’ variable named exactly the same.

no support, just recreate the variableIT makes a huge pain to delete, and plus it takes a LOT of time if you already started using variables.

Bringing this up.
Also, I think it would function better as an editor feature because I can’t come up with many if any uses where you would need to swap between the 2 when running the project.
no support, just recreate the variableThat now deletes all variable instances in 3.0, so you have to find every place with the variable.
I absoulutley agree!Explain why.change [foo v] to [for this sprite only v]::variables

Bringing this topic up. Also, this idea was on the forbidden word GitHub, but I think they should also make something for creating/editing multiple variables then. You could actually kinda do the creating thing in 2.0 too, and it was easy to change vars/lists's scope because the mentions weren't deleted when you deleted them.

Support! this would be good for editing variables instead of just making new ones

Great for variables and lists to code with, then making it easier to use and start scripts for all sprites at the same time in sync.

Bringing this topic up. You used to be able to delete the var/list and simply recreate it, but that used to not delete the uses, and someone may realize the variable/list was better as the other type after using it in the code.

Support, this would be convenient for inaccurate clickers people who forget to switch the variable to local when establishing an if clone trigger.

support! this is in an extension i use and it's super useful, why shouldn't it be in scratch?
the extension has options for all sprites or one sprite when you rename the variable.
not this.set [cool] to [for all sprites]set [cool] to [this sprite only]
the extension has options for all sprites or one sprite when you rename the variable.

support I am always really annoyed when I forget to change it to local because then I have to go back and remake the variable

oh wow!
sorry i didnt know this topic already existed and i dont check back on my posts often.
thank you for telling me
This option would be really useful for many scratchers, because instead of having to delete all instances of the variable and replace them, you can click one button and be done.
In fact, why add a variables tab where you can control variables without having to do it with blocks or with scripts but just one click of a button, because it can be really helpful for bug-fixing.
