Can somebody please show me how to use forum blocks? It's hard to cope with especially since the feature was made at the time of Scratch 2.0.
Also, is it possible to make nested lists, and if so, how?

Noo It's hard to cope with especially since the feature was made at the time of Scratch 2.0.
Also, the wiki has something on this:

And the scratchblocks testing sticky in Help with Scripts has a link to another tutorial.

You can use scratchblocks using the scratchblocks tag.
You can select the existing scratchblocks from the menu:
For more advanced stuff, you can check out this tutorial topic.
After you're done, test the scratchblocks out using the official scratchblocks testing topic.

Thank you, but I still don't know if it is possible to make nested lists. Also, I would like to know how to add images to the forums. And how to specify if a block is a shadow, text, or a color.

You can add images using Thank you, but I still don't know if it is possible to make nested lists. Also, I would like to know how to add images to the forums too.an image host supported by the Scratch forums.

you would have to make your own list readers. Nested lists are not natively supported by scratch. You have to isntead store it as a string and then somehow read the string as a list. It shouldn't be that hard tbh Thank you, but I still don't know if it is possible to make nested lists. Also, I would like to know how to add images to the forums.

Is it possible to specify if a scratch block input is text, shadow, or input?

Wait, what? Is it possible to specify if a scratch block input is text, shadow, or input?
Also, you can do this for dropdowns and such:
block [dropdown v] ::grey
block (numerical dropdown v) ::grey //number dropdown
block [] ::grey //text input
block () ::grey //number input
block <> ::grey //boolean input

I have been trying to put a number input in blocks, but it always seems to think it's a variable.

Is there a way to make it so you can input alphabetical characters?

I'm pretty sure there's no way to put letters in number inputs in the version of Scratchblocks that the Scratch forums use. Is there a way to make it so you can input alphabetical characters?
However, if you put a v at the end of the input, it becomes a dropdown:
move (number v) steps

Yes, instead of using parentheses, you could use square brackets. Is there a way to make it so you can input alphabetical characters?
Example:
say (hello!)
say (hello!)
say [hello!]
say [hello!]
edit: I thought there was only one (incorrect) post, I didn’t know there are more.
edit 2: wait nvm i responded to op alright alright

Only numbers can go in number inputs, so just use brackets like here: What I want is text in a reporter input without a dropdown menu.
say [Hello!]
say [Hello!]

You couldn’t really do that in 2.0 because if you copy and pasted it in the dropdown, it would remove letters other than “.”, “-“, and “e” (since they can form actual numbers)I'm pretty sure there's no way to put letters in number inputs in the version of Scratchblocks that the Scratch forums use.
