more blocks [effect reporter]

nyan_nyan_nyan

2.0 is pretty good, but there should totally be a “I____I effect” block. (example 1: if color effect = 30?) (ex. 2: set y to fisheye effect)
that way you can make sprites react to stuff like starting to become invisible, ect. please reply!

What you can do to accomplish this is to set an effect to a variable, then use the variable to report what the value of the effect is.

There are only two types of people in this world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete information.

Like this?

forever
 set color effect to (variable)
 if (variable) = 100
  say [The color effect is 100!] for 3 secs
 end
end

There could be a reporter that has a dropdown for each effect (ghost, pixelation, etc). It would look like this:

What do you think?

+1, although this may lead to a workaround for the “when project stopped” hat block which would be used by trolls.

Support, though you can just do:

(Set variable to (?))
Forever
-Set ghost effect to (ghosteffect)

And then use the variable to do calculations and similiar things.

So I doubt that it would be added, but it may.

Well, it'd be somewhat useful, I guess. Although, as jhl pointed out its easy enough to use a variable. If this ever comes around, though I'd also like to see a <hidden?>.

I wouldn't mind this, but it's not needed- there is an easy workaround.

(ghost effect)//category=looks
(mosaic effect)//category=looks
(pixelate effect)//category=looks
(brightness effect)//category=looks
(color effect)//category=looks
(whirl effect)//category=looks

Or just a dropdown.
Use:

when green flag clicked
set [ghost v] effect to (0)
repeat until <(ghost) = [99]>
    
move (3) steps
turn right (3) degrees
change [ghost v] effect by (3)
end

Except it's not a variable. It's a “Looks” block.
