Rejected, this is already a series of blocks and remaking it is useless just to save time. Just make a variable or a custom block and you can get away without building it every time

as far as I'm aware, this isn't rejected. What I think you mean is “No-Support?”

You got king of page!

This makes zero sence, especially since the work around actually makes more sence.

Support this would be useful to a lot of games!

I think an argument similar to the ‘previous costume’ argument can be made here, where even though it can be worked around easily from the viewpoint of more experienced users, it doesn't make a lot of sense to new scratchers how numbers can work in that kind of drop-down text input.

switch costume to ((costume [number v]:: looks) -(1)) // previous costume
switch costume to (pick random (...) to (...)) // random costume

Also, the ‘switch backdrop’ block has these options in the drop-down, so this could help with consistency.


However, while I can think of some uses for the ‘random backdrop’ option (like random sky conditions in a game), I can't think of much for the ‘random costume’ option.

Bringing this topic up.

shorter workaround:

define random costume
switch costume to ((0) + (0))
switch costume to (pick random (1) to (costume [number v] ::looks))

also I don't see where this will be used, and when I do need random costumes, its normally in between a range, where I will use the pick random block.

I've posted about 10 times on this topic a couple years ago with various workarounds that don't work, so I will provide an actual workaround.

You don't need to record the last costume number, just switching to the last costume allows you to use that number as the costume number block.

You can just do:

define random costume
switch costume to ((0) + (0)) //resulting in 0
switch costume to (pick random (1) to (costume #))

Though, this would make sense because there is already random backdrop.
