Forever If <>

In Scratch 1.4, there was a block that was the combination of these two:
forever

if <> then

end
end
The “if” was “in” the forever block. So it would look like this:
forever if <> then//category=control

end

end
But I don't think there's anyway to show that here.
Please bring it back.

Don't support.
One of the reasons that this was removed in the first place was ambiguity as to weather the block meant:
forever
if <>
end
end
or
if <>
forever
end
end

But anyways, I don't support because I always thought it meant:
if <> then
forever
end
end
And the ambiguity is bad.

Many others have also rejected it on the millions of other topics saying the same thing

Nope. Don't support. There was a reason it doesn't exist anymore.

I don't see a difference between
forever

if <> then

end
end
and
if <> then
forever

end

end
.
Even in coding terms. They look exactly the same.

The first one will always check if the condition happens, while the second one will only check it once, then trigger the forever block.

Oh yeah! I didn't think of it that way. Thanks for the clarification!

This is a sort of good idea though I don't support, but, if there were to ones that either said. Forever if or If forever I would maybe change my idea but for now don't support, sorry.

Actually, it wasn't removed because it had an easy workaround. It was removed because many beginning Scratchers found it overly confusing. Showing the two functions that it performs as separate blocks seems to be easier for beginners to understand.

So, sorry, I don't think we are interested in seeing it come back at this time.
