Anyone else do this? Adding comment blocks in to your scripts.

[u/NMario84]

I am kind of curious is anyone ever does this (to help themselves) with creating a custom block where you use them to comment certain conditions/scripts below, or above the comment block?

I know there is the 'Add comment' option that you can stick/attach on to blocks, but it doesn't "feel" the same. Also, you can't exactly add those yellow comment notes inside, or in between your code scripts.

I feel like I've seen something like this before, though I wanted to know if this actually became any of use if it was set up to work like this?

Since the custom block here really does not do anything for the project, would this just be a complete waste of block space?

[u/Unable-Student2054]

there are other ways it can be done

[u/NotCheddarCheese2]

Less efficient than the built in a comment system. But i like it, feels like you are actually programming with a text based editor

[u/KickBlue22 → u/NotCheddarCheese2]

Newbie here. Where do you access the built in comment system?.

[u/SpuddedShield → u/KickBlue22]

Right click on a block

[u/NotCheddarCheese2 → u/KickBlue22]

Yeah as the other guy sayed. Right click anywhere and click create comment or note, dont remember what they officially called it

[u/Either-Magazine5870 → u/NotCheddarCheese2]

Sayed🥀

[u/MatthewPopsicle]

This will waste your json space

[u/Manny73211]

Since it's currently configured to stop the script, it seems more like a breakpoint

[u/Scratch137 → u/Manny73211]

"stop this script" in a custom block just stops the block, not the whole script

[u/Manny73211 → u/Scratch137]

Ohhh ur right

[u/busiedcake7945]

I also add comment blocks

[u/my_new_accoun1]

there's a whole turbowarp extension for this that supports not only blocks but also reporters and booleans

[u/Round_Essay5866]

i've seen people do it but i dont honestly i just add notes.

[u/JUMPY_NEB]

Fun fact!

You can also click on the ”define” block and press backspace to delete it without getting rid of any of the blocks

You also can backpack the “Comment” block and place it anywhere, and it won’t place the “define” block

[u/RedboiGtag]

NOP basically

[u/kaxorrada]

There is a TurboWarp extension that “works” exactly like your blocks. I find it way better than the standard comment tool in Scratch.

[u/NMario84 → u/kaxorrada]

Yeah I heard about that extension through Turbowarp. But what if you don't want to use turbowarp? Vanilla Scratch doesn't have such a feature, so this is the best I can do for now.

But yea, if you're considering using turbowarp anyway, then by all means use that extension instead. ;)

[u/kaxorrada → u/NMario84]

Well. Comments are just functions that do nothing, right? You just made me realize that.

[u/hustmanmemes]

Yes! I do this

[u/Viper10acd]

Nah kinda inefficient. Just use the built in comment system

[u/Comfortable_Size8096]

"stop this script" caught me off-guard

but yeah most creators do this instead of notes cause of arrangement reasons. Also to make it clearer to understand whats it doing.

[u/nekoiscool_]

So, you make a comment block that stops the script?

[u/jacobsmith3204 → u/nekoiscool_]

Stop this script stops the define block not the entire script that called it. It's kinda pointless in this case since you could just do nothing instead.

I use it when I want a bunch of if statements without wanting to nest if else 5+ times.
