A more ‘less’ complex method:

when this sprite clicked

or alternatively:

<mouse down?>

BTW how do you add a little… thing underneath your post. Like 12349999eeeeeee9S99.

like::control hat
heart::motion
follow::list
likes (bbc (alba::stack events)::stack motion)::pen
loves the IPA::operators
friendly::cap

No list blocks yet

What about these:
1:

if [list v] have [thing] {

}::list

2:

add number (1) to (10) to [list v]::list // 1=min 10=max

Workarounds
1:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <[list v] contains [thing] ?> then
...
end
end

2:

when green flag clicked
add (pick random (number::grey) to (max::grey)) to [list v]

Suggested blocks:
1

if not <> {

}::control

2

clear all variables::variables

Workarounds:
1:

if <not <...>> then
...
end

2a:

set [variable v] to [] //copy this if you have more than 1 variable

2b:

forever {
set (pick random (1) to (infinity)) to []
}::control

I see that a lot of people are suggesting workarounds for many, many, blocks. If it goes like this, this topic will be the infinite list of doom.

The title says this topic has workarounds to frequently suggested blocks. Almost none of the workaround that are being suggested by other users have been frequently suggested.

So far I've ignored such posts. But I am considering converting this thread into some other form, like a scratch project or something hosted on Lefty's website (talking to him privately about that).

NOOOOOOOOOO I love this form, it helps me find workarounds for blocks I've been looking for.

Well, what do you particularly like about it? Because as a creator I find it very limited.

This isn't even a frequently suggested block and the title indicates that the list is for them! …

Hi. Is there a possible way to get

(pick random (1) to (10))

as a workaround for an actual block like

Pick random from (1) to (10)

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.

This is about workarounds of everything.

No.

Computer_Fizz told me the exact opposite.

So, people show non-existent code and show which existing block it is a workaround of?

Blocks that are suggested a lot but haven't been implemented yet get workarounds here.

But blocks that haven't been suggested yet or not at all don't get a workaround here. If someone asks how to workaround a block, basically show them the code; it doesn't need to come in this list (unless the block is requested a lot).

Do you mean (When this sprite clicked)
Or, is it when its clicked, because they're basically the same thing.

when green flag clicked

forever
say [DESTROY THE GACHAS!!] for (2) secs
point towards [ gacha]
broadcast [ clear gacha]
end
