Can somebody please show me how to use forum blocks? It's hard to cope with especially since the feature was made at the time of Scratch 2.0.
Also, is it possible to make nested lists, and if so, how?

Noo
Also, the wiki has something on this:
Tutorial on Wiki
And the scratchblocks testing sticky in Help with Scripts has a link to another tutorial.

You can use scratchblocks using the scratchblocks tag.
move () steps
[scratchblocks]
move () steps
[/scratchblocks]
You can select the existing scratchblocks from the menu:



For more advanced stuff, you can check out this tutorial topic.
After you're done, test the scratchblocks out using the official scratchblocks testing topic.

Also, I believe I made something for the 3.0 blocks on the previous testing topic a while back, I'm gonna find it.

Thank you, but I still don't know if it is possible to make nested lists. Also, I would like to know how to add images to the forums. And how to specify if a block is a shadow, text, or a color.

You can add images using an image host supported by the Scratch forums.
Also, what exactly do you mean by “nested lists”?

you would have to make your own list readers. Nested lists are not natively supported by scratch. You have to isntead store it as a string and then somehow read the string as a list. It shouldn't be that hard tbh

Is it possible to specify if a scratch block input is text, shadow, or input?

Wait, what?
Also, you can do this for dropdowns and such:
block [dropdown v] ::grey

block (numerical dropdown v) ::grey //number dropdown

block [] ::grey //text input

block () ::grey //number input

block <> ::grey //boolean input

I have been trying to put a number input in blocks, but it always seems to think it's a variable.

You have to make sure there is ONLY numbers in the number input

move (5) steps
move (a) steps

Is there a way to make it so you can input alphabetical characters?

I'm pretty sure there's no way to put letters in number inputs in the version of Scratchblocks that the Scratch forums use.
However, if you put a v at the end of the input, it becomes a dropdown:
move (number v) steps

Yes, instead of using parentheses, you could use square brackets.

Example:

say (hello!)

say (hello!)

say [hello!]

say [hello!]

edit: I thought there was only one (incorrect) post, I didn’t know there are more.
edit 2: wait nvm i responded to op alright alright

Only numbers can go in number inputs, so just use brackets like here:
say [Hello!]
say [Hello!]

You couldn’t really do that in 2.0 because if you copy and pasted it in the dropdown, it would remove letters other than “.”, “-“, and “e” (since they can form actual numbers)
