Remove "Next Backdrop/Costume" Block and make the "Switch Costume To [ ]" the same as its backdrop counterpart.
Okay, I understand that people use them. But there it is, under the dropdown:
EDIT: Okay, ignore the above.
I think that “Next Costume” block should be within the “Switch Costume To” dropdown, similar to the “Switch Backdrop To” dropdown. Therefore, we should get rid of the henceforth redundant “Next Costume” block. This would prevent confusion/suggesting for a “Previous Costume” block.
Please don't reply saying this would ruin animation/not reading the entire discussion. The function would still be there.
switch costume to [previous costume v]Removing this would also stop all the questions/confusion over why a previous backdrop/costume button doesn't exist.

Stop saying that something could potentially confuse a New Scratcher as justification of saying No Support!
This is the B-est of B-sides.
Hope you had to wait in a long line.
We never even played this song live.

Undecided, sorry. It makes it much easier for new scratchers.

Yes, however if new Scratchers didn't use the first block that caught their eye and used the dropdown, they would find both “previous” and “next” options.

Not true, when I was “new” I found it perfectly fine in the dropdown, it was as easy as finding the next costume block itself.
Undecided, sorry. It makes it much easier for new scratchers.
Support! I don't get why people wanted this so badly yet it was right in front of them!
Plus workaround for previous costume:
switch costume to ((costume #) - (1))

You don't even need that work around that people keep throwing around– use the dropdown, people!Not true, when I was “new” I found it perfectly fine in the dropdown, it was as easy as finding the next costume block itself.

No way! Are you kidding? I would not like to script my looping animations as:
foreverinstead of the simple:
wait (.14) secs
switch costume to [a v]
wait (.14) secs
switch costume to [b v]
wait (.14) secs
switch costume to [c v]
wait (.14) secs
switch costume to [d v]
wait (.14) secs
switch costume to [e v]
wait (.14) secs
switch costume to [f v]
end
forever
wait (.14) secs
next costume
end

Think of all the new scratchers though! That isn't obvious! The “next costume” block was one of the first things that helped me get started! I still use it a ton!No way! Are you kidding? I would not like to script my looping animations as:foreverinstead of the simple:

I agree with Shiny. It also helped me learn to animate.

Actually, it only is there for “next backdrop” and only on the one inside sprites. Dude! He's saying there is one in the dropdown you can still do this:

Why exactly is this? The function would still be there, just inside of a dropdown. It would not “break” those projects, because the function would still be available. No support! This would break so many projects!

No supportI guessing you meant that new Scratchers can't handle it but…
1. New scratchers can handle this
2. This would be helpful for optimizing the animation scripts
Seriously, if new scratchers used the dropdown the questions forum would have a lot less people asking how to do “Previous Costume” and there would be less confusion over that.
Also, can't animators do this:
when green flag clicked
forever
switch costume to [next costume v]
wait (x) secs
end
