This could have been possible in Scratch 2.0 because of hacked blocks i think. My idea is calling event when a variable exceeds a number. Here is the block itself

Original:

when [ v] > (10)

Improved:

when [] [> v] [] :: events hat
when (☁OnlineStatus) [= v] [1] :: events hat
when (y position) [< v] [-180] :: events hat

This can make this block more useful and I don't think new Scratchers might struggle at understanding it. Dropdown choices can be “=, <, >, not =”. This block also can be used to create infinite loops even when project stops just like

when [timer v] > (-1)

@greenFlag Start::events hat
forever
Drink a coffee::motion
Make a project::events
Sleep::#777777
wait until <(current [hour v]) = [7]>
end

It's one of those things that aren't really necessary. You might think the workaround is large and tiring, but Scratch is not only an introductory programming language. It should also train us for complex ones. These type of events are in no programming language (even in Python, which is by far the simplest).

No support, because of this:

I kind of agree, but this block's usage is limited with timer and loudness. If scratch adds this block, it would be more useful but it is a fact that users won't see this kind of functions in other programing languages. However, I still think it is not necessary to only accept loudness and timer as arguments.

Time and loudness blocks are things that Scratchers don't use much, so I think the event was just implemented to encourage that. Variables and the other ones you suggested are used a lot (and a lot of projects have a change detection system) so they wouldn't have to be added to this event.
