All at Once/Run in Parallel Block

VedanshS933

This is not a duplicate because this launches two blocks at once and not run a block with run without screen refresh.

Hi!
I am proposing an All at Once or Run in Parallel block. This block would be used to run two or more blocks at once.
If you are thinking that scrtips cannot be run together, only once, then please check the workaround.

Mockup

All at Once {

} :: control

or

Run in Parallel {

} :: control

Workaround

script
broadcast [hi v]

when I receive [hi v]
say [hi]

when I receive [hi v]
think [hi]

Scratch On!

How exactly is this not a nice workaround? It literally performs the same function. And even if we were to ignore that, this is a duplicate.

I am not going to use hundreds of blocks just to do that!

Ah yes, this would add hundreds of blocks to your project, because of course, we use hundreds of custom blocks in every project. The workaround only is a block extra, so it wouldn't make a difference at all.

Use a function and make it run without screen refresh. That simple.

For me it will make it cluttered

How would it be any more cluttered than if somebody else did it?

heres some insight: functions are slow slow in scratch, and that is an understatement

if you want your scratch code to run fast its often better to produce messy code just to optimize it.

How are run without screen refresh functions slow? They're literally the fastest thing that exists (on scratch), repeat loops don't even come close to how fast they are.

Not running the function but calling the function.

Myst--

No support. There is an easy workaround.

What? Are you talking about the use of the function itself or getting it from MyBlocks?

Ok, thanks, I'll close it

Thank ST for opening it again

Please read the OP again

Please explain.

So if you see the below posts you might get confused. So I'll explain it better. Really what I mean is to add an All at Once block in which 2 things will run at the same time not to make it fast. It'll be a Control Block. It will be helpful when you want to say and text to speech at the same time!

Scratch On!

PS : Not a Duplicate.

Like if you put 2 blocks in the loop so they will run together instead of this the n that

You mean just 2 custom blocks in a forever loop?
