In Scratch 1.4, there was a block that was the combination of these two:
Please bring it back.
foreverThe “if” was “in” the forever block. So it would look like this:
if <> then
end
end
forever if <> then//category=controlBut I don't think there's anyway to show that here.
end
end
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:

But I don't think there's anyway to show that here.
forever if <> then :: control cstart
end
But anyways, I don't support because I always thought it meant:
if <> thenAnd the ambiguity is bad.
forever
end
end
Many others have also rejected it on the millions of other topics saying the same thing

I don't see a difference betweenThe first one will always check if the condition happens, while the second one will only check it once, then trigger the forever block.foreverand

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.
