Idea: Multiple flags
This has its own thing in the suggestions forum, here it is so that you can continue discussing there in the suggestions: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/678221/?page=1
I posted this on the suggestions, so ye: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/903957/
Y'now how scratch won't make a “when Red button clicked” cuz it “removes the purpose of it”, as it is supposed to stop all? Well I thought of an idea, if we can't get the red button to do something, then how about we have more flags?
At first, you might think. “But SJS! just use brodcast blocks!” And my reply, uuh, your right…
BUT DON'T LEAVE NOW! there's still a use for it, it stops everything then plays the command given. AND you can add more different colored flags for more stuff! I would like to see 17 brodcasts do that without being repetitive to code! >
Even better, if there are too many? then you can use a dropdown button to see all flags present! and also assign up to 7-10 (depends of the size) flags to be present on the top!
It should also be an extension, I don't think we have had an extension for a while now and btw the actual flag would still be present to start the project in general
Also with this extension, you have the ability to create up to 25-50 flags (Could be a setting for laggy users) and assign each of them a different color, and you can even give a flag 2 colors! (for the outline and the inside color)
And before you say “oh thats too complicated!”, well what about the pen tool? (there should be more pen tool blocks cuz its too hard to use it well rn)
Unlike all my other suggestions, I don't see any problem with this! I actually have achived something! yay!
Thanks fr @Haycat2009 for the idea, so there could be a "show/hide flag, so yee
