What I am sugestion is a block that makes a dialog box

Dialog Box type [OK Only v] text () title ()

There, you can choose between NOT ALL THE CONSTANTS but:
OK only
Yes No Cancel
Yes No
Retry Cancel
Input (has a field where you can enter text that will be set as dialog box answer and a OK button to close)
Critical (Has a error symbol at the side)
Question (Has a question mark at the side)
Information ( has a I at the side)
All the others (like Yes No) describe buttons. Question, Critical and Information have just a OK button.
To prevent user form spamming dialog boxxxxxxes around the screen, you can only have 10 at a time and not drag them out of the Scratch Editor or player. The block should be maybe sensing or maybe an extension
Also, there should be a

(Dialog Box answer)

(Not a variable but sensing or extension blocks)
Also to keep it more intuitive for kids, when for example yes is chosen the dialog box answer will be set to yes, not 6 (For OK OK too and not 1 and for the others too)

I believe you can use the

say [ ]

block on an invisible sprite if you want to make a dialog box.

Where would the dialogue box go and how would it look like?

Besides from that, I think this is a good idea, since it's not easy to code it yourself. Maybe this could use arrow keys or the mouse/clicking to determine the answer. Mockups:

set mode to [typewriter v] :: extension // Options would be typewriter (with a typewriter effect) and normal (no typewriter effect).
dialog box with text [] with type [OK v] :: extension
dialog answer :: extension reporter

I can see many uses for this!

It cannot have buttons like yes or no and the

ask [] and wait

looks just to bad

Still, text engines exist.
You can try and use some by -Rex- and just add your own buttons.

It's still hard to style and you cannot drag it around.

It would be more easy, but as every one else says you can use the

say []

dialog answer :: extension

Probably also:

(answer:: extension) // Returns the previous value entered. (E.g. "Hello world")

Oh wait, I forgot to make it a reporter. Darn it.

I support it would be really useful in my opinion and I'd personally use it for my game Sharp Clicker, I think it would help a lot!

How would those dialog boxes look like??

Dude, those typos…

You know the classic Windows dialog boxes that say “Critical error”, or “Warning”, or something like that?

That's what's being suggested here, but for Scratch.
