play sound [next sound v]

Ok I found some time today but I found that this may not be really helpful for this thread.
Where would we need that block really?

well we can use it like this

play sound [next sound v]

im not sure if i did it right

(sound # :: sound)

if <(sound # :: sound) = [2]> then 

  
broadcast [message 1 v]

else
broadcast [message 2 v]
end

play sound [next sound v]

The whole point of this block

(sound # :: sound)

is so that you can use it like this:-

if <(sound # :: sound) = [2]> then 

  
broadcast [message 1 v]

else
broadcast [message 2 v]
end

so the block

play sound [next sound v]

wouldn't work in that situation.

(sound)//new var
set [sound v] to [sound #]
play sound [sound v] until done

set [sound # v] to [The number on the thing]
play sound [pop v]

if <(sound #) = [2]> then
say [ya watevs]
end

In your post, you mentioned this

set [sound v] to [sound #]

So when you wanted to know the value of your variable, it would report

(sound # :: variables)

as the value of the variable.

You should have this

set [sound v] to (sound # :: sound) // My sound # block will report the number of the last sound played to the variable

instead of this

set [sound v] to [sound #] // Here, the variable won't be set to the number of the last sound played, but to "sound #"

set [sound v] to [1]
play sound [THIS IS SOUND ONE (don't use all caps) v]

WHAT????!!!! The whole point of my new block is so that you don't need a variable! It saves you making one therefore saves you time!
Your script in your post is wrong anyway because it would look like this:-

when green flag clicked
forever
set [The sound # variable you talk about v] to (Sound # :: sound) // MY SOUND # BLOCK!!!!
end

So even there, you need my sound # block.

Doing this with different variables and different broadcasts will allow for a workaround.

I meant something like this

play sound [THIS IS SOUND ONE (don't use all caps) v]

I don't really need it because of the easy workaround

I don't think much they will ever add something, but you can still try it.

Well since they aren't working on 2.0 anymore this is probably the best time to do so before 3.0 gets finished.

What if 2 sounds were playing at once?

when green flag clicked
play sound [looong music v]
play sound [looong music2 v]
set [variable v] to (sound #::sound)

Then sound # will be “1 2” like when you change a variable to a list:

LIST
1 (hello)
2 (world)

when green flag clicked
set [Variable v] to (LIST :: list)

Variable will show “hello world” separated by spaces.

(Sound # :: sound)

That is not going to work out. It would just make the blocking system much more complicated than it really needs to be.

I will support on the

(Sound # :: sound)

block, with its function as reporting the last sound that started playing. However, the term still seems a bit ambiguous. Can we think of another name that isn't as long as “Last sound # Played”? Lets keep it simple here.

(sound # :: sound)

([sound # v] of [Sprite1 v])
