New block ideas!

While working on a project, I had an idea for some new blocks.

The blocks would look something like this:

go to [ front or back] of [ sprite name]

(Except it would be purple)

It would send a sprite directly in front of or directly behind another sprite and would be very useful for coding.


If anyone has a workaround for this, that would be appreciated, thank you!

Basically:
go [in front v] of [giant cat v]::looks
go [behind v] of [giant cat v]::looks

Hey there! The way that you make your blocks look how others of the block type that you want it to be is:
::[name of block category here]

/hj is the worst tone indicator. It's confusing and ambiguous. I hate it. The point of tone indicators is to indicate tone, or the way that a piece of text should be read, but what does “half joking” mean? Do you just wake up in the morning and think “wow, I really have something I want to talk about seriously but also kinda not, IDK you decide.” It's useless. I hate it. It just provokes a deep rooted anger within me whenever I see it. People just comment /hj as if it makes any sense. It doesn't. Oh wow, it's a tone indicator that's has a relative meaning, how useful, I'll use it in every comment I post. NO. STOP IT. You're a tone indicator, you have only one job, and yet you sit there doing nothing apart angering me.

/srs

^^^ (there's more below)
This one is useful because it tells you that this signature is fully 100% serious. (/srs) Who would've thought that tone indicators needed to tell you something about the piece of text they're attached to? /s

I'm serious, I'm not even going to put multiple (/hj)s a the end of my signature as to mock the previous paragraph for not getting the point of something(like previous version of my signature). /srs

Support, great idea! This makes layering a lot easier. I would maybe also like these options though:

go [in front v] of [All sprites v]::looks
go [behind v] of [All sprites v]::looks

Complete support, because trying to get everything to layer well is a hassle!

Knife rant:
Spending lots of money on carving knives has never made sense to me I've used the same $20 Morakniv since 2018 and as long as I sharpen it regularly it is still sharp enough for carving and basically any other task. I'm sure I'm the only person on the forums who cares about any of that but thanks for reading I guess.

Also, could you change the topic title to something that fits more? “New block ideas!” sounds like a list. It would also fit more if you listed the topic idea in the title, such as "Go to front of ". If you need help, this topic should contain everything you need.

if you read this, thanks!

and you broke the quotes again
