No support. This would be confusing to new Scratchers and is entirely extra. “Disable screen refresh” or whatever it is called in custom block does the exact same thing, but only for the function it's in, making it generally more customizable than for one that does it for the whole project.

EDIT: Well I just pulled a @Medians and called them Custom Blocks rather than My Blocks. Bonus points in this respect for calling them “functions” like it's Python lol

No, I have a script in a game where it doesn\t work without turbo mode, but the rest of the game works fine without turbo mode, and also it would just be nice to have a few new blocks to mess around with?

fullscreen is something that should not be controlled

also before starting the project, where there are notices saying that the project uses microphone, camera, or usernames, it should say it also can turn on turbo mode

Turbo Mode isn't really intended for this use, and you can always use the “run without screen refresh” check box for custom blocks.

I don't think that would be nice. Someone could create a project that traps the player in fullscreen, and making a project that repeatedly changes would probably give me a seizure.

a flasher project can be made without turbomode

plus it cant trap you in fullscreen?

I mean, they could either merge or close one of them. Though I requested a merge.

I didn't know that was possible!

this would be great as I recently made a very large scrolling platformer, allowing me to turn on turbo mode to load it quickly then turn it off when everythings loaded would be great!

o ma gAAaaaAaaAd cant we just get togglable turbo mode allready

Prutnummer2

reply yes if u want togglable turbo mode
reply no if you dont want togglable turbo mode
if you want toggleable turbo mode in a specific way then reply with that then we spam mods untill we get yes?

Honestly a detector for if turbo mode is on or not would be way better so you don't have worse problems with seizure-inducing-projects.

Being able to toggle it FORCEFULLY would just create way more chaos. If there was just a block that lets you KNOW if turbomode is on, that wouuld be way better than having the ability to forcefully toggle.

No support, just use the custom block's run without screen refresh, It's basically the same thing.
