Ability to add names to scripts

megaman100

I thought of an improvement! A good idea would be to add names to scripts as something like this.

when green flag clicked
wait () secs

If this was the first script it would be named script 1. It also could be named anything you wanted.

No Support. Just use a comment.

The reason why I supported this was so that you could be able to stop specific scripts. Read more about it here.

I'm sorry that doesn't work! The reason why we need to have customize-able names for scripts was so that they can function in projects.

Couldn't you do that with a variable? No support, this feature doesn't really have a use.

It actually does come in handy for situations like this.

Here's an example for when we need it.

Actually it would have a use for features like these:

Ability to start specific scripts or sprites
Ability to stop certain scripts or sprites
Ability to pause scripts or sprites
Ability to speed up or slow down scripts or sprites

Then why stop there? Make blocks for the features.

I might be misunderstanding but couldn’t you just use

broadcast [start script3 v]

and

when I receive [start script3 v]

You’d need to be able to stop the single script, possibly even outside the source of that single script.
I like the idea of grouping scripts together (even across sprites). Support for that reason and above reasons.

You are correct! That's why I'm suggesting this!

Support, along with a feature to search scripts by name. This would make it easier to edit large projects.

No support, you can right-click any block and click “comment” to add a comment, it will look like this:

when green flag clicked // Heyo Script
say [Heyo!] for (2) secs

But adding names to scripts would be beneficial for those above reasons.

We have a lot of positive support, I think ST has the chance to find this soon and put their decision into it :3

Actually, no. It's 3 supporters and 4 or 5 non-supporters so far.
