love and favorite detectors and such

MrFluffyPenguins

Currently, you can use the “mouse x” and “mouse y” blocks detect your mouse outside of the stage. Or you can make a sprite go out of the stage for a second or however those detectors work, I don't really know or care.
You can use this for some really stupid things, like:

crashing Scratch when you hover over the report button so you can't report it
making it so you have to love and favorite (or at least make it think that you loved and favorited) the project to win
blocking remixes

and that list goes on for a while.
And the benefits are:

thanking you for tricking the project into thinking you loved and favorited

So, why not make it so you can't make love and favorite detectors and stuff like that? I'm pretty sure you aren't even supposed to be able to do this, any way.

What would not be affected:
((mouse x)[and](mouse y)::#FFFFFF)

go to [mouse-pointer v]

point towards [mouse-pointer v]
These blocks already cannot detect mouse positions outside the player, and it's already not the most accurate way to do a love/fav detector. Many projects use these as a way to detect the mouse position so Getting Over It would not break!

What would be affected:
<touching [mouse-pointer v] ?>
Because these blocks do have the potential do detect mouse action outside of the player. Maybe either pause it during that time or just make it report false if the mouse is outside the player?

it doesn't

when green flag clicked // if you hover over the report button then the variables will be
forever
set [x v] to (mouse x)
set [y v] to (mouse y)
end
(x) // 240
(y) // -180

You can make sprites go to the X and Y of the report button, and the sensors can detect if those sprites touch the mouse pointer, then executing the code.

Support. People can do bad stuff with this.

No support. griffpatch's "Getting over it" would be totally ruined. Love and fav detectors would be literally broken. And it's not a good situation if someone can crash your computer for hovering over the report button, but you can leave a comment, or remove the sprite, etc.

the OP was talking about mouse X and Y blocks but whatever, no support for that because it's useful for pretty much anything that uses scrolling and you can just report the bad stuff or use contact us

lol you can also just stop the project, reload the page, or just not start it in the first place and report it

Why would griffpatch`s project be ruined? And Love and Favorite detectors are rejected, anyway.

well since now we know that mouse x an y blocks don't detect it so it's just talking about x and y positions blocks not being able to detect it which breaks everything scrolling related

griffpatch's game, a remake of “Getting Over It” in Scratch, often requires your mouse to be outside of the canvas. And I meant user-created love/fav detectors. Like https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/375350431/

I know, users are allowed to have them, but I don`t really hate to see them go since they are rejected.

Well, you can just stop the project (or, in hard cases, reload) and then report.

That happens with any item on the list.

What's wrong with them? What do you mean by “rejected”? Is it in TOLORS (I'm a bit rusty on it lol)

Yup.

Social Action Reporter Blocks
This block can be used to see how many loves, favorites, ect. the user has.

gosoccerboy5

Still, that's a bit different from a love/fav detector that detects outside the stage..

That means to add a block that detects it, not ban love/fav detectors.
