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

It means that it would be a boolean instead of a hat. However the reason that he is using doesn't work as properly as the hat does, and may require changing.

is there any workarounds for this?

start the (block::stack grey)::control

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

Hmmmm, That's a hard one. Maybe this?

when green flag clicked
broadcast [ Start Block]

when I receive [ Start Block]

say [] for (2) secs

when green flag clicked

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

I have another one!
(letter (last) of [world])
can be replaced with…
(letter (length of [world]) of [world])

Part of me feels like that workaround is obvious, but I'm also concerned it might just be because of my level of expertise, and really isn't that obvious. If you can prove that enough people have suggested the “letter last”, I'll add it.

set [block to run v] to [say hey guys]
broadcast (block to run)::events

then

when I receive [say hey guys v]
say [hey guys]
when I receive [say bye v]
say [bye]
when I receive [set color effect to v]
set [color v] effect to ()

Post Goal:

Motion::motion
Looks::looks
Sound::sound
Pen::pen
Events::events
Control::control
Sensing::sensing
Operators::operators
Variables::variables
List::list
More Blocks::custom

This is actually a good suggestion. Although it's going to be inevitably buggy with nothing to bounce off of, a lot of people have requested a “bounce” block. So I will add it now.

The workaround you showed for bouncing seems incorrect. It just uses the point in direction ( v) block with some operations.

Hey! I understand that you really want to test out the Scratchblocks feature on the forums, but please go to the official Scratchblocks testing topic to test them out. What you're doing now is irrelevantly posting blocks on a topic, which is not allowed. You won't be banned or anything though, I've also made this mistake a lot! ^^

But hey, congratulations on making a post!

That's obvious, you know - there are constantly new blocks that are frequently suggested.

But yeet, let's not derail the topic.

For those who want

Make () clones at (x) (y)

You can achieve this by

repeat (...)
create clone of [ v]

end
when I start as a clone
go to x: () y: (0)

There are some problems with this since that would result in *all* clones going to those coordinates. Can you show me that enough people have asked for a “Make () clones at (x) (y)” block?

there would not be a reason to do that. nobody is posting workarounds for any 3D blocks, 3D code is extremely complicated most of the time, and most scratchers probably would not understand it. (i don't understand most 3D code XD) so really, there is no point in making a 3D blocks category.

May I ask whether this is frequently suggested? I don't think a move infinity steps block has been suggested a lot nor is it something useful.
