"Repeat for ___ secs" blocks

I think there should be repeat blocks that don't repeat a given number of times, but for a given number of seconds.

How it works is, there's a repeat block like this:
repeat (for ___ seconds?)
    
end
Then you enter how many seconds you want it to repeat.

Please give feedback

This would look weird in the palate. This has a workaround.

reset timer
repeat until <(timer) > [amount v]>
Do something
end

Something like this?

when green flag clicked
broadcast [time v]
repeat until <(timer) > ((time) + (amount of seconds))> //time of activation added to amount of seconds
blocks
end

when I receive [time v] // saves timer time when the block is called on
set [time] to (timer)

maybe

repeat for (2) secs

Hello there, I'm @M0LDYGH. Not MoldyGH.
I actually know a lot about scratchblocks.
So it's most helpful on the wiki.

But, sadly the wiki isint the same as scratchblocks.
I'm also sort of learning python.

when green flag clicked

set (username v) to [@M0ldygh v]

What if I need to constantly reset the timer for a stop button detector.

Have a nice day!

You would need to reset the timer once it receives the message.

when I receive [time v]
reset timer

the workaround doesn't work, stop sign detector, or anything that utilizes the reset timer block will break it. please stop.

Bump. This is very useful for projects where you need to repeat something for a certain amount of seconds.

Despite what my About section says, I have been using Scratch before 2019. 2019 was the year that I first joined Scratch.

since scratch is 30 fps, you can just

repeat ((seconds) * (30))

end

i never follow discussions if it isnt mine so if you responded to me go to my profile if you want i guess

Well? The workaround it easy, and you can put it in your backpack so you can use it everywhere.

when green flag clicked
set [v v] to [0] //I'm just using v as an example you can name it whatever you want
broadcast [loooop v]
time
When I receive [loooop v]
repeat until <(v)=(insert number here)> //Put the code inside and you're done!

end
define time
repeat until <(v)=(insert number here)>
wait (1) secs
change [v v] by (1)
end
set [v v] to [0]

Ok, maybe saying you could put it in your backpack was a fib sorry :(
