Basically, multiple variables for the effect reporters I believe if you mean “what were we doing???”, can you clear up the last part of your post? They have labels unlike the list items, so if you use a list, it's going to get kinda annoying to keep track of which list item is which unless you have a system in your code that checks for separation characters.

Fun_Cupcake_i81: Well then if you didn't want it back maybe you need to time travel to last year and fix that

Oh wait if you could time travel I think we all know exactly when you would go-

user2: But this is medians we're talking about, so “from 2.0” can mean the same thing as “from five seconds ago”.

the order of the list is the same as the dropdown on the grapic effect blocks

by “what are you doing” i mean alot of people are saying something like this
set [ghost effect v] to (ghost effect::looks)

That's what I assumed, but my problem was that not everyone has the same memory or knowledge of the order, and I think it would be kinda annoying for some people to have to check the dropdown every single time they wanted to know what the order was on the list.

removing custom reporter blocks is one of if not the most detrimental and confusing change the scratch team have ever made to this platform. having those would make scratch truely a full programming language. abstraction is the core and one of the most important parts of almost every programming language, and without it scratch is severly limited for no reason. if we had those basically every block sugguestion would be easy to implement and use. custom return functions are so important that adding them would change the face of scratch as a whole and probobly bring many new people to the platform. its clearly in high demand and it fits scratches design goals. hell not having them actually doesnt fit scraches design goals at being an introductory language by not having one of the most important things in any other language.

later versions should be better and more feature complete than earlier versions, but with scrach thats just not the case

sorry for the rant i just wanted to say what needed to be said

great idea! but the “mosaic effect” option would be the new most useless block. The ghost effect and brightness effect will be good especially!

I agree with most of the points made. This seems like a good suggestion, and even if there is a workaround I would be happy if it were added.

Misconceptions about the Scratch Room

* Low floor: It should be easy to climb in and get started with Scratch - even for Scratchers who have no experience programming. - This does NOT mean complex things shouldn't be added. Making the ceiling higher or the walls wider doesn't make the floor harder to get on.
* Wide walls: Scratchers should be able to make all kinds of things with Scratch - not just animations and games, but news programs, science experiments, things we can't even imagine. - Wide walls means that some things that may be unconventional or odd or “useless” at first glance may still be worthwhile to add, because some people may find them useful for making new unique things.
* High Ceiling: Even though it's easy for someone who is new to programming to get started with Scratch, it should still be possible to make complex stuff. - Although the floor is there, many forumers just look up at the ceiling rather than thinking about the floor. They say “this would be too complicated, new Scratchers wouldn't understand it” without considering the fact that it can be worked up to with the handy floor we have.

Use:

set [ghost v] effect to (0)
repeat until <(ghost) = [99]>

move (3) steps
turn right (3) degrees
change [ghost v] effect by (3)

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