dude, I’m not mainly active on scratch anymore, and you guys have been complaining about the problems about this block ALL THIS TIME?

anyways, this topic was posted on February this year, it’s now September. (time does fly real fast) and we have broadcasts to do this block. yes, a run green flag block would be easier but people are complaining about the problems.

please stop, this topic was made 8 months ago and im not even a teenager yet.

PLEASE STOP.

- Thanks, NotK3ndricAkt

Workarounds? Did you know the move () steps block had a workaround and was still added?

What bugs? The When Green Flag Clicked block doesn’t have that much bugs, so how would that cause bugs?

Yes, that may have happened, but that was because they were hard workarounds involving math, and the majority of scratchers haven't reached that level of math. Just like the Forever If <> block, because it was confusing many scratchers. Broadcast are made to be able to be a substitute for the when green flag block, as you can run it, and it's super easy to do so. Put the code under the when green flag clicked block under your broadcast block, and when something happens broadcast that message. It's an easy workaround, just like the forever if.

This is basically 1 bug
Is there any beside the “green flag then green flag” bug?

this applies for pretty much everything, broadcasts clones custom blocks etc, not exactly a bug.

when gf clicked
custom block :: custom blocks

define custom block
. . .
custom block :: custom blocks

when i receive [broadcast v]

broadcast [broadcast v]

these aren't bugs, just ways of abusing the block. these problems already exist, so these “bugs” don't really make much of a difference.

The only reason this post is here is because it was merged from a duplicate that google search didn't catch (I think), please don't ask why i posted this.

This is inspired by Scratch 0.x (because the green flag didn't exist, and you had two wave blocks instead) and a Scratch mod related to a species of flightless birds.

click @greenFlag :: events

This block basically emulates clicking the green flag. E.g.

when [space v] key pressed
click @greenFlag :: events

when green flag clicked
turn cw (22.5) degrees

It could be used for restarting if the player makes a mistake.

Other versions:

click @greenFlag :: sensing // Sensing category

click @greenFlag :: control // Control category

click @greenFlag :: events cap // Cap

run @greenFlag :: events // Alternative name

Whaddya think? (no, this isn't a secret trick to do blockspam.)

But what if a cloud project fails to connect and it already got far in the init process to break if it goes back to the main menu?

(also remember broadcasts exist)

There is a workaround

when [space v] key pressed
broadcast [clicked v]

when I receive [clicked v]
whatever you want to do :: custom blcoks

Ikr, but some newbies may not understand what broadcats are.
