move up () steps

I want a block that looks like this.
move up () steps ::motion

what it does: it moves a sprite the amount of steps that is typed in, but the sprite will move UP the amount of steps you type in.

The message above may contain wrong information, rude remarks, or something embarrassing to my current self. In this case, please ignore it and remember that I likely wrote it back when I didn't know what “respect” truly meant. I really hate thinking about it again.

Yet we still have the move () steps block… which does the same as the change x by () block…
I don't think they are points that are THAT valid

move () steps
makes the sprite move (…) pixels in their current direction. It usually acts the same as
change x by ()
because you usually have your sprites set at 90 degrees.

How about this, then?
define move up (n) steps
turn ccw (90) degrees
move (n) steps
turn cw (90) degrees

move up (10) steps
I'd say this would make a perfect example of how a custom block can be used.
- Sheep_maker This is a kumquat-free signature. :P
This is my signature. It appears below all my posts. Discuss it on my profile, not the forums. Here's how to make your own.
.postsignature { overflow: auto; } .scratchblocks { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }

That is a totally unnecessary workaround and that is assuming the sprite is facing right.
It's more like a move left block.
I think 
change y by ()
works fine.
This is my signature, it appears below my every post. Want to change yours? Use the code below in your browsers console.
this.document.location = "https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/settings/" + Scratch.INIT_DATA.LOGGED_IN_USER.model.username

The more you do now, the less you need to do later. - Me, and a bunch of other people saying it in slightly different ways.

Is this in relation to dorection or just the y position of the sprite? If it involves direction a workaround would be this:
Go to x: (x position ) + ((sin ((direction) + (90))*steps) y: (y position) + ((cos((direction) + (90)) * steps

Support. Having an object move up regardless of direction would be nice.

No support, just use this block if you wanna go up,
change y by (10)
and edit it a bit if you wanna go down.
change y by (-10)

There already is a way to do this. As others have said, use this block:

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

Hmm, but maybe the OP means go up steps based on their direction, like the 
move () steps
block.

No support since there are simple and easy workarounds(shown in the quotes above).
I have about 3450 posts, 90 shared projects, 180 total created/followed topics, and 425 followers.

Both of these work for you, so please learn how to use change y blocks.

The workarounds are really easy, so this block is not needed.
