"Create own block" dropdown list

RedReadyOPERA

the define block is a hat

define block thingy

but why not we make hat, cap, c type, E type blocks instead of the original stack blocks?

block ::custom hat
block {
} ::custom
block{
}{
} ::custom
block ::custom cap

that will be good

I support this idea. A way to improve it though: what do you were to list all the drop downs at once, and then have a special block that will add in the code for just once drop down, and you'd do this for every dropdown option, so you don't have a ton of seperate, disorganized blocks for a single dropdown?

That topic is closed and is a duplicate
Also it seems extremely similar to this post so it doesn't give much more information

Yeah this would be nicer than having an input and having to check if it's invalid or not.

when green flag clicked
set [page v] to [1]

block ::custom cap

Awesome! Looks good!

Yeah it would be nice if there was an option in this, where you can copy over the dropdowns of other blocks.
If you don't get what I mean by this:

And the block in the custom block will do the last run dropdown (if there is none it will be blank).
Edit:
Maybe like this?

set (dropdown1 ::custom) to [0] //if dropdown1 is not a real variable, this will do nothing.

Having the dropdown look the same in the definition and the custom block implies that you can select from the dropdown, which is kind of weird but does nothing.

Yea I realized that after. I think it should be only in the definition now. Though I think there should be an option to add dropdown options from other blocks and making your own too.

Look:

Dropdown [hi v]
Use v to use dropdown in BBcode and the blocks

made an image for any-input, text, numeric, label text, boolean, dropdown/list, branch, and color input.

for hat and cap, there would have to be a toggle, but they would conflict with eachother, as capped hat is useless. but branches would be an input that simply is a bit complex, requiring a new system in the define block

[Dropdown v]

heres that

branched input can be moved, so for example, the goto random position block could be first!
multiple branches can be inserted, too.

My suggestion is simple: that when you create your own block, along with boolean, string and number input, you were allowed to do a dropdown list like this:
define move [direcion]
if <(direction)=[up]>
point in direction (0 v)
move (10) steps
end
if <(direction)=[down]>
point in direction (180 v)
move (10) steps
end
when green flag clicked
move [down v]
I would find this very useful (though admittedly my example wasn't very useful)
Any suggestions, improvements or just support?
%d They will be added in future!

I think this is an amazing idea, and this can have a: if is (dropdown option) run: (code), and when you put a dropdown option on a custom block, the dropdown will display the dropdowns that it is hooked up to, such as variable dropdowns, lists, the if is, and more!

Yeah it should definitely be like this:

And you'll be able to get dropdowns from other blocks as well.
