I still think that this may be a little too destructive to be readily available. It better at least be undo-able, in my opinion. That being said, I realize that such a feature would mean I would never have to do the awkward "green flag to when I receive [start v] because I didn't plan ahead for this" conversion.

Edit: Ayy, king of the page!

I already bumped this (I know because I'm following this discussion) but PLEASE SCRATCH PLEASE IT'D MAKE THINGS SO MUCH EASIER

Very noice >:3

I'm sure there'll be an undo button if this system were to be implemented. At the very least, it should work with with the one that's already included in the editor.

However, even if there isn't an undo option, you could just manually undo what you just did by putting the old blocks into the replace system. Essentially you'd just be inverting the process. All that's required is that you know which block you just replaced, or you just have to be sure that you have a spare instance of that block lying around somewhere in the editor.

However, I'm not saying that you don't have a point. If you were to replace a big block, say a boolean block of some sort that has a somewhat complicated equation, and you realized that you didn't mean to replace that type of block in particular (or perhaps there's another instance that you've forgotten about), then, assuming you no longer have the knowledge to re-create said block, you don't have any other instances anywhere else, and if there weren't any undo functions, then I'd assume you'd be in some trouble. Although, the problem could simply be reversed if there were an undo button.

This plus the idea proposed is a two-click process with some extra steps. Thankfully, it would not be an impulsive action. Ideally, since the process takes a little more than a couple of seconds, it would give the user quite some time, therefore making the process too long to be impulsive.

If none of this works, then a pop-up warning could be implemented, just to be safe.

(In summary, Ctrl + Z. If that doesn't work, a confirmation pop-up would be nice).

Bump

I am coming from a duplicate, so bump.

Support! Also add a “find block” so you can scroll through every use of said block

Support! This would be helpful to people who change blocks often

support!!
This is very useful when creating large projects

With the way the current undo system works (there are literally two different ways to undo in two different places) I think they'll have to make a separate undo button for just the find and replace

Bumping this up

SUpport…it can be soooo tedious to replace blocks, especially when you make one little change that breaks half your code xD
(ok that one might just be me but still)

Bump

Bumping this up since I needed this today-

Would this be usable with changing a variable to another variable?

Yep! At least that's how I personally envision it.

Oh, alright. That would be very useful, because I screw up my variables quite a bit. Hmmm… I feel a little work could be done on how it does it (I don't think replacing ALL of a block would be very efficient, as you might have some that you need.). Might I suggest something: You click on the blocks you want to replace (click again to unselect), and a bar on the side will show which you selected. You would be able to drag a block onto those (or a string of blocks) and it will replace it with what you dragged onto it. Just a suggestion.

Support.
This would be SUUPER useful for doing computer v.s. you or computer v.s. computer, as you would need variables for the interactions like up? or attack?
so…
yeah.
