Go to random x and y blocks.

lgrov44

Just because of the workaround/s (see below), no support.

set x to (pick random (-240) to (240))

Exceptions to workaround:
1. When you want to change y. Change “x” to “y” and change the values to “-180” to “180”.

The rest have blocks that does it alrighty.

Thou shalt use workaround!
(I'm using your chart against you. The workaround is as simple as the block, if not simpler, and scratch is an educational site, not one to hand everything to you. I don't see how figuring out the workaround is much harder than learning how the pick random block works, and i see plent of brand new scratchers know how to use the pick random block.

Edit: also you havn't provided a single time where this would be used, i sure havn't needed to go to a random specific y or x axis but i have needed to go to a random position.)

go to [random position v]

you can do

go to x: (pick random (240) to (-240)) y: (pick random (240) to (-240))

forever

end

you can do

repeat until <[1] = [-1]>
...
end

go to x: (?) y: (?)

you can do

glide (0) secs to x: (?) y: (?)

go to [mouse-pointer v]

you can do

go to x: (mouse x) y: (mouse y)

Clearly, it does.

Someone could be making a game where the player starts at the left, and the obstacles have a random y (kinda like flappy bird), or they start at a random x and fall down or have to go along a line or sth.

I made a game with rain and snow. And it had to spawn at a random x, it would be easier if I had this block.

one block workaround.

Here's an improvement (More blocks required though.)

set [oldx v] to (x position)
go to [random position v]
set x to (oldx)

set [oldy v] to (y position)
go to [random position v]
set y to (oldy)

Warning: Weird results when used with pen.

You can just go to x: (random (-240)(240)) y: (random(-180)(180))
There is already a random position option in the go to block.
It could be like this:
set x to (random v)

set y to (random v)
A textbox wouldn't work well with a dropdown.
I am not sure if this is in 3.0, but 2.0 has this:
(item (random v) of [list v])
(item (last v) of [list v])
I know, but in order to access this you have to do:
(item (join [random] []) of [list v])
so it's more of a hidden easter egg than a feature.
But it is a feature, well at least it was in 2.0 LOL

Also, I remember this being implemented in the 3.0 beta, not sure if it's in final though.
Anyways, if that isn't the case, then this could be added:
set [x position v] to random ::motion
Or sth, I have no idea LOL, there could be a sprite x/sprite y thing or whatever like this:
set x to [random x v]

set x to [Sprite1 v]

That doesnt exist…

when green flag clicked
set screen size to (12500) (pixels v) * (12500) (pixels v)
define (Screen Size ) 
fetch screen size
broadcast [script v]

when I receive [script v]
point in direction ((my variable) v)
change (my variable v) by (pick random (0) to (360))
move ((Screen Size X) / (10)) steps
wait (1) sec

Those already exist, and they're easier to understand as not every new scratcher will understand the repeat until block.

I understand it exists, but again. One block is easier than 2. It may not seem like much, but it would make things a bit faster for newer scratchers, or people who haven't needed to use it much.

This argument is kind of a double-edged sword, as having Scratchers use blocks that hide away simple implementations doesn't help with learning
