Broadcast menu internal input

gdxfor

Can anyone find or make a project with just a broadcast menu internal input? Thanks.

Do you mean something like this?

when I receive (foo)
broadcast (foo)

gdxfor

No I just want the internal input

What do you mean by the internal input? If you mean the dropdown menu, I’m pretty sure you can’t get it by itself.

Unfortunately, that's not possible.

It's possible for the clone menu, as its JSON looks like this:

{
  "WMNYEw*ejvm?I*hDo~xC": {
    "opcode": "control_create_clone_of",
    "next": null,
    "parent": "!g8Do!D{.C/f{}F;.`|,",
    "inputs": { "CLONE_OPTION": [1, "b/_j`w/z}}|iPx6*?iX`"] },
    "fields": {},
    "shadow": false,
    "topLevel": false
  },
  "b/_j`w/z}}|iPx6*?iX`": {
    "opcode": "control_create_clone_of_menu",
    "next": null,
    "parent": "WMNYEw*ejvm?I*hDo~xC",
    "inputs": {},
    "fields": { "CLONE_OPTION": ["_myself_", null] },
    "shadow": true,
    "topLevel": false
  }

Which means you can simply create a “control_create_clone_of_menu” without its parent:

{
  "b/_j`w/z}}|iPx6*?iX`": {
    "opcode": "control_create_clone_of_menu",
    "next": null,
    "parent": null,
    "inputs": {},
    "fields": { "CLONE_OPTION": ["_myself_", null] },
    "shadow": false,
    "topLevel": true,
    "x": -296,
    "y": 330
  }
}

On the other hand, the event broadcast is implemented like this:

{
  "!g8Do!D{.C/f{}F;.`|,": {
    "opcode": "event_broadcast",
    "next": "WMNYEw*ejvm?I*hDo~xC",
    "parent": null,
    "inputs": {
      "BROADCAST_INPUT": [1, [11, "message1", "qSM,;%|oRy$gr_{/KT}e"]]
    },
    "fields": {},
    "shadow": false,
    "topLevel": true,
    "x": -296,
    "y": 330
  }
}

And there just isn't anything to extract out here.

couldn't you have it in a “join () ()” block?

Good idea, that does work! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/890831839/

I knew about this (and is in fact the reason I made the discussion). However, after a lot of testing, I managed to get a version of the block into a Scratch Project without it being stuck to the join block.

ok… There are some rare java codes which you could download and put in your project.

if <(message1 v) received? :: sensing boolean> then
do message 1 stuff :: grey
end

idk what this forum is about

Please don't post on old and resolved topics…

0% of Scratch is written in Java. However, the majority of Scratch is written in JavaScript.

They're not the same thing (not by a long shot), don't get them confused.
