This should be new drop-downs for the

go to [ v]

block.
It would look like this:

go to [random x v]

go to [random y v]

go to [mouse x v]

go to [mouse y v]

Yes, I understand there is a workaround. I also understand the workaround is slightly easy. But the block makes it easier. Look at my chart in my signature (do not use it against me) this block will have a lot of usage. This also makes it a tiny tiny bit easier for newer scratchers who do not think of the workaround straight away.

Why though?
You can just go to x: (random (-240)(240)) y: (random(-180)(180))

There is a workaround for the

go to [random position v]

too. But, look at the workaround chart I have. (in signature.)

There is already a random position option in the go to block.
It could be like this:

set x to (random v)

set y to (random v)

one block workaround.

go to [random position v]
set y to (... ::grey)


go to [random position v]
set x to (... ::grey)

1. You just gave a 2 block workaround..
2. You would have to remember what the previous x or y is.
3. Rare situation, but the pen could be down.

1. It only adds one block so I classify it as a on block workaround.
2. In 3.0, it saves the last x or y position as the block you can drag out, or you can use a custom block to save the value or use this:

set x to (pick random (-240) to (240))

and same for y, still only one extra block, and is also ridiculously simple.
3. use method 2.

1. That would be a 2 block workaround though because it involves 2 blocks.
2. That's also in 2.0.. and what if you changed the x/y pos? Edit: Do you mean last or current?
3. You didn't have that method though in the post I quoted, so yea..

1. I'm still gonna think of it as an one block workaround, as adding in the block will still require one block.
2. I meant current, but that isn't a problem with the other workaround
3. :shrug:

I think instead of that it would be better like this

[x (... v) y (...v)]

The drop down could have random on it
or it could be

[go to (random v)

I felt like it would be better for the

go to [ v]

block, because it also has the random position option, and “random x” and “random y” dropdown options would work with this block.

set x to (pick random (-240) to (240))

set y to (pick random (-180) to (180))

What more needs to be said?

You can also do sth similar for random position, which exists. Also, blocks with simple workarounds still exist:

next costume

next backdrop

(() + ())

(() * ())

change x by ()

change y by ()

It will look like this:

go to [random x v]

go to [random y v]

And it makes the sprite go to a random x, or y.

I bet this is a dupe, I really do. I've lost faith in my topics.

Or you can do this…

The thing is, those are already added and won't be removed any time soon. I'm saying that since there's such a simple workaround for a new block, there is no need to add it. Also chart in OP's siggy

With my powerful ability to type! You shall RISE to the FIRST PAGE!!!!

There is already a random position option in the go to block.
It could be like this:

set x to (random v)

set y to (random v)

A textbox wouldn't work well with a dropdown.

I am not sure if this is in 3.0, but 2.0 has this:

(item (random v) of [list v])
(item (last v) of [list v])

(item (random v) of [list v])
(item (last v) of [list v])

I know, but in order to access this you have to do:

(item (join [random] []) of [list v])

so it's more of a hidden easter egg than a feature.

But it is a feature, well at least it was in 2.0 LOL

Also, I remember this being implemented in the 3.0 beta, not sure if it's in final though.
Anyways, if that isn't the case, then this could be added:

set [x position v] to random ::motion

Or sth, I have no idea LOL, there could be a sprite x/sprite y thing or whatever like this:

set x to [random x v]

set x to [Sprite1 v]
