If you want to test the scratchblocks plugin, go here.

Also you can also get previous costume by following this workaround:

another “number of costumes” workaround

switch costume to (join [] [0])
set [number v] to (costume [number v]:: looks)

Maybe a less laggy way on Scratch for laggy projects?
this project has 15k views

That's kinda mentioned in the original though (since anything with 0 sends it back to the last costume, though they used 0 + 0 instead).

Repost but does anyone know a workaround for a “rotate around (x) (y)” block?

then put it after the
then explain what that does and “point” the reader to that workaround

There could be something where if a scratcher has to been active for like, 2 months then the ST (or a bot) could send out a email to the email of the account and a message to the account that says something like “you have not been active for (Insert amount of time here) and we would like to no whether you want to keep your account Press “delete” to delete your account or something

Workaround for even and odd since I'm not sure if people are getting it, and also a divisibility check since even is just that its divisible by 2

Thank you! I've added these to the Operators & Sensing section (with credits). I've also added new methods for “x is integer/decimal” and “decimal/fractional part of x” — I think I totally forgot the “mod” block exists when I was writing up the Operators section, which was a big oversight!

Workaround for TTS subtitles

when green flag clicked
say [hi] for (2) secs
when green flag clicked
speak [hi]

How many times has it been stated that this is not a workaround??

Also doesn’t work when it is on the project page. And what if the creator doesn’t do that??

No prob, probably going to work on other workarounds.

I made the workaround for

rotate around [ v] :: motion

start to run script, whit: ((local start) :: #F25340) @delInput @addInput :: hat #F25340

go somewhere else for that

Workaround for a round to for decimals

((55) + (5))

It will equal the same as being rounded.

uhh do you mean like a block that rounds up if its greater than or equal to XY5 (digits) and rounds down otherwise?

I saw, it just takes me some time longer to add workarounds which are more involved. I was waiting for the chance to give it a proper look!

I made a remix of your project which takes your version…

rotate around sprite: [Sprite2] time: (60) :: custom

…and changes it up to one that doesn't animate a full circle, so you can use it in more complicated animations and projects:

rotate (45) degrees around [Sprite2] :: custom

But I didn't actually change any of the idea which makes it work (imagining a circle around the pivot and using cos and sin blocks to rotate around that), so I made sure to still include full credits to you. Is it alright if I add the version I did to the workaround guide, with credits for the original code and idea to you?
