pointing towards sprite boolean block
It would be quite useful if a boolean block was added to test if you are pointing towards a certain sprite.
It would look something like this if it were rough
It would look something like this if it were rough
<pointing [roughly v] towards [ v]::sensing>Or if you wanted to make sure it was precisely the center it would be
<pointing [precisely v] towards [ v]::sensing>

pointing towards sprite boolean block
no support because ambiguous:
would it return true if it were pointing precisely at the other sprite's costume center, or anywhere at the sprite?
would it return true if it were pointing precisely at the other sprite's costume center, or anywhere at the sprite?
i have grown as a person. and ive grown, literally. none of my posts from before 2022 represent me accurately.

It was a rhetorical question to show how much this block would confuse new Scratchers. It's the same reasoning behind why there is no “(message) broadcasted?” block.no support because ambiguous:Anywhere
would it return true if it were pointing precisely at the other sprite's costume center, or anywhere at the sprite?

Made it more obvious:It was a rhetorical question to show how much this block would confuse new Scratchers. It's the same reasoning behind why there is no “(message) broadcasted?” block.no support because ambiguous:Anywhere
would it return true if it were pointing precisely at the other sprite's costume center, or anywhere at the sprite?
It would look something like this if it were rough (without the if):
if <pointing [roughly V] towards [ v]> thenOr if you wanted to make sure it was precisely the center it would be
end
if <pointing [precisely V] towards [ v]> then
end

As mathfreak231 said, this suggestion is too confusing and ambiguous to be implemented.
Sorry, but no support.

no support because ambiguous:Maybe we could have a block for both
would it return true if it were pointing precisely at the other sprite's costume center, or anywhere at the sprite?
when green flag clicked
if <(language) = [English ]> then
say [Everything is Awesome!] for (2) secs
end
if <(language) = [French ]> then
say [Tout est super-genial!] for (2) secs
end
if <(language) = [Italian ]> then
say [E meraviglioso!] for (2) secs
end
if <(language) = [Spanish ]> then
say [Todo es fabuloso!] for (2) secs
end

That's what the post was edited to say like 8 hours ago, nobody bothered looking and kept complaining that it was ambigous due to the fact that its not obviousno support because ambiguous:Maybe we could have a block for both
would it return true if it were pointing precisely at the other sprite's costume center, or anywhere at the sprite?

Support for
(I know that block is in itself workaroundable, but it would make thing much simpler like this)
(direction to [Sprite1 v] :: sensing)so that this can be worked around with
<([abs v] of ((direction to [Sprite1 v] :: sensing) - (direction))) < (10)>
