I have an idea…
set the variable [ v]in [slider v] mode :: variables
set the variable [ v] in [number without text v] mode :: variables
set the variable [ v] in [number with text v] mode :: variables
etc.
We could put it so that, as said in previous posts, while inside the
do as variable [ v] block::variables cstart
end
block, the dropdown in the
switch costume to [ v]
would have:
switch costume to [normal readout v]
switch costume to [large readout v]
switch costume to [slider v]
Not sure how we would set the slider min/max though…
Also, please post your ideas on a new thread.
I think what he did probably was fine since it's sort of related to the original suggestion.
Well it is still better to do that, as more people will see it.

True, but it still sort of goes with your suggestion.

Edit: Lol I'm glad I started a new page here the scroll bar on that previous page was becoming so small because of all our big posts with quote chains…

No support because most blocks wouldn't work for variables.
Semi Support for some blocks to change variable displays though:
move [var v] to x: (0) y: (0) :: variables
set [var v] style to [small v] :: variables
set [var v] slider [min v] to (0) :: variables
move [list v] to x: (0) y: (0) :: list
set [list v] size to x: (100) y: (100) :: list

BUMP.
If you are confused, it basically means the variable watcher on the screen does whatever you put in the c-block.
Unsupported blocks turn red.

BUMP. If you no-support, then why not show me a variable text engine thingy that can have all cases with all characters, and do anything.

Just search for one, there are plenty out there.

Yeah. That's one of the reasons we have this community.

Not immediately. I'll find some tomorrow; I'm on my tablet right now.

Did you read the whole thing

Support. This could be really useful !
I always wanted to do this.

ScaleneParkour

if you mean being able to move variables thru code then SUPPORT

This post may be a bit off-topic.
Maybe

do as list [ v] block::list cstart
end

as well, although it might not be as useful, but maybe…

Yeah, that's a good idea

No support, this is ridiculous. No offence, but it's just a bit too strange for Scratch. However, I do support for blocks

move variable [ v] to x: () y: () :: variables
set [ v] viewer type to [large v] :: variables
set [min v] of [ v] slider to () :: variables
move list [ v] to x: () y: () :: list

This block simply does the action inside the variable as a variable.
Like if you put move 10 steps, the variable will move ten steps.
I like this idea:

In fact, this would end all variable motion suggestions.
Also, any of the no-supporters should creat this to prove it.

well, what will that do? But good idia.

Support.

Too bad Watchers don't inherit from Sprites (I think), because that would make it a lot easier to make.

The biggest point of contention I see is the unintuitive name. If the block is going to exist, its name needs to be changed to something more intuitive. Perhaps

variable [ v] display runs these blocks :: variables cstart

end

would be a more logical way to say what it does.

EDIT: Grammar and more emphasis.
