variables and other round blocks fitting into hexagon slots

if (it will run if the value is true, or the value is greater than 0) then
say [yes]
else
... // it wont
end

They’re different shapes because the circle slots are meant for text or variables, while the hexagon ones are meant for equations and sensing.

what would this do?

if (x position) then
...
end

It would run if the x position value is truthy, so it would run when the x position isn't 0. Also, you can already do this with the item () of () block and the item # of () in () block, but I have no idea if this is intentional.

It could also do nothing. Mind you, I have taken multiple coding classes, and I still know very little about how coding works lol-

But, it doing nothing isn't a problem. You can already make nonsense code

if the x position isnt 0, then it will run …

I said this, did you mean to reply to the other person?

Yea, I mentioned that it would do nothing if the x position was 0. You can also already see this with the item () of () block.

This provides some ambiguity - it doesn't inherently make sense what this would do. In my opinion, sticking to the current method is fine:

<not <(reporter::grey) < [0]>>

The above script returns true when reporter equals ‘true’ or is greater than 0.

It returns false when reporter is any number less than 0.

c0der0928

it can also detect if it also less than zero, also saying yes

so for all of them it would be basically:

<not <[0] = (reporter::obsolete)>>

The hexagon slots are meant to place boolean blocks in them, take this block for example, it's got a boolean slot.

if <> then
end

But I think you can do this with shift secrets.

Sorry, but no. Easy workaround:

when flag clicked
if <<(foo) > [0]> or <(foo) = [true]>> then
…
end

Plus it would look weird if reporters could fit into boolean slots. Yes, booleans can fit into reporter slots, but it would look weird if reporters could fit into boolean slots.
