That's a great idea!

fireincarnate

thanks! oh, and maybe

go (1) layer [in front of v] [sprite1 v] :: looks

(the other option would be

go (1) layer [behind v] [sprite1 v] :: looks

)
how about it?

Ooo that's awesome!

<<[behind v] [sprite1 v] ?:: sensing> and <([layer v] of [sprite1 v]) and <(layer :: looks) and (go (1) layer [in front of v] [sprite1 v] :: looks stack)>>>

those are all the blocks proposed so far

[scratchblocks]<<[behind v] [sprite1 v] ?:: sensing> and <([layer v] of [sprite1 v]) and <(layer :: looks) and (go (1) layer [in front of v] [sprite1 v] :: looks stack)>>>[/scratchblocks]

I think the first one should kick the bucket. The rest can stay.

let's also add in

put [Sprite1 v] in front of [Sprite2 v] :: looks

Isn't that just the last block?

Support. Would make layering infinitely easier.

I like this idea but I think we should focus more on the why this is helpful.

Don't mean to call you out, @Squirrelstar, but this is a good example of what I'm talking about. Instead of saying that it would be easier focus more on why it would be easier. Why this would be a good edition to Scratch. Another thing that could help the discussion more would be to include some examples of these blocks being used.

If we can make this discussion more constructive and be less zoned in on having tons of supporters, we will make this suggestion more clear, understandable, and focused. Thank you.

The only thing this suggestion is useful for is making layering easier, we don't need examples as we all have functioning brains and can figure it out how it'd be used ourselves.

true, but keep in mind that scratch is targeted at younger people. they might not know what those blocks are for.
