Suggestion for the if <> then block (25+ support, 3 semi, 1 no)

Zekrom01

Some people have to do this:

if <> then
    ...
else ::celse
if <> then
    ...
else ::celse
if <>  then
        ...
else ::celse
if <> then
        ...
else ::celse
if <> then
        ...
else ::celse
    ...
end

It gets really tiring easily because you have to drag too many blocks, I know. I've thought of a plan.

If you right click an

if <> then
    
end

statement, there would be a button saying

New If Then Statement

When clicked, it will add a new if then statement below it:

if <> then
    ...
else if <> then ::celse
... //another if then statement
end

You can do that as many times as you like.

if <> then
    ...
else if <> then ::celse
...
else if <> then ::celse
...
else if <> then ::celse //and so on!
...
end

If you right-click the if <> then block after adding one below it, a new button appears: (woah!)

Else Statement

You can end an if <> then statement with that.

if <> then
    ...
else if <> then ::celse
...
else if <> then ::celse
...
else if <> then ::celse 
...
else ::celse
...
end

Example of usage:

if <(points) > [50 ]> then
    say [Woah! Good job!]
else if <(points) > [100 ]> then ::celse
say [Amazing! You're getting good!]
else if <(points) > [500 ]> then ::celse
say [WHAT?!?!?! YOUR A PRO!!!!!]
else if <(points) > [1000 ]> then ::celse 
say [OMG WHAT!!!!!!!!!!]
else ::celse
say []
end

(Switch the positions of all the Booleans on the above block, 1000 is top, 50 last. Thx woohooboy)
NOTE: I am not trying to replace:

if <> then
    
else ::celse

I am trying to make things convenient.

Conclusion: This block is basically the switch statement and else if/elif blocks in scratch.

Thanks for reading.

Semi-support, this could be confusing to inexperienced scratchers.

Love this idea!

This is an almost exact replica of the switch statement in Javascript, (C, C++, C#?) and other languages, I would prefer that doe.

Support.

It says you have support though.

If the switch statement was added, it would pretty much look like that.

Only the switch statement only handles one variable, not ten.

I didn't say exactly like that, I meant by something similar to

switch (var) then :: control cstart 
    // or something more child-friendly
if < = [1] :: operators> then
    ...
else
...
end

end

For the example you gave, it sounds as if it should be renamed to

if <... :: operators> then
...
else if <... :: operators> then :: control celse
...
else if <... :: operators> then :: control celse
...
else
...
end

Support for that.

Check out my games, if you want to. I make sure to share a cool variety, but even though I haven't shared much, I try to make each one count, but they can only count to 7 so far.

Support for that.

^^ Or the switch statement with one variable because I hate having to do:

if <(pick random (1) to (10)) = (variable)> then
    
else
if <(pick random (1) to (10)) = (variable)> then
    
else
if <(pick random (1) to (10)) = (variable)> then
    
else
if <(pick random (1) to (10)) = (variable)> then
    
else
if <(pick random (1) to (10)) = (variable)> then
    
else
if <(pick random (1) to (10)) = (variable)> then
    
else
if <(pick random (1) to (10)) = (variable)> then
    
else
if <(pick random (1) to (10)) = (variable)> then
    
else
if <(pick random (1) to (10)) = (variable)> then
    
else
if <(pick random (1) to (10)) = (variable)> then

end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end

How would it be confusing?

I support! It's much better than calling it “elif”. I'm not sure about the wording on the item in the right-click menu though. How about “insert condition” or something?
