Dropdown List/ Variables within Variables

fexlo

I think there should be a new type of “Master” variable that can refer to many other variables held within, such as the “current (minute, second, etc.)” block works. For example, you could use this to refer to a different user of a project each time the repeat around it increases:

set [a v] to [0]
repeat (length of [All Users v])
    change [a v] by [1]
set [user (a) v] to [Player] // this is where the new block is used
end

Isn't that what a list does? Or are you talking about enumerations? (Like the dropdowns in the variable blocks)

I'm talking about enumerations. Is there a way of creating them?

No. I was actually working on a project to use custom blocks to do things similar to them, but I kind of abandoned the attempt.

Anyways, you can't create your own, and I actually suggested this before (with very few readers) but you can hack them in to custom blocks.
