Block Suggestion.

cobraguy

Not sure if this is the section to suggest, if it isn't tell me so I can move it.
I love all the new blocks, but I have a suggestion. How about a “Mouse onscreen?” block? It would be used to detect if the mouse is on the stage. I have a project (here) that you must have your mouse on the screen to play. I made an onscreen detector that is not reliable. You can bypass it if you move your mouse fast.

The ‘Mouse onscreen?’ block would prevent that from happening. If you took your mouse of the player, it could detect it. Don't even know if it's possible to code, I think it is, but I don't know much about programming blocks. Just a suggestion. Tell me what you think of the idea.

Sounds like a good idea to me! I think it could be possible to code. After all, it quits recieving stimulus after the mouse leaves.

Thanks for the ride, Scratch Team and community! Unfortunately, the time has come for me to move on from Scratch, so I'll no longer be using the forums. Thanks again, and farewell!

And no, the evil kumquats didn't alter my signature…

The thing is, if your not in the editor, than if you flick your mouse fast enough, it doesn't sense the new x and y position. It stays the same. I'm hoping a block like the one I suggested could prevent that.

Yes, there most certainly needs to be updates…

bump. cool suggestion

this is not a necropost; there is no necroposting in suggestions of this type

Credit to -gge for the icons in my signature | I condensed all this code into five lines using [p] tags, idk why

No support, the workaround is quite simple (use < and >), and considering the very few times you would need this block, I think the workaround would be more convenient then having an extra block in the editor that most people wouldn't use.

No support, you can do this easily using this workaround (or any other slight variations):

<([abs v] of (mouse x)) > [240]>
<([abs v] of (mouse y)) > [180]>
