How Do I Make A Block Shaped Like Cases If

[jordan0112]

I Was Wondering I Could I Make A Block Shaped Like Else If Or Else With Xml Hacking Would Like Some Help! Edit:Thanks For Leting Me Know About The Age!

Maybe you shouldn't post your age

After reading a bunch of forum posts at once, I notice that people are posting their age a lot, either in the body of a message or in their signature. Although not as bad as posting your exact birthday, your age could be combined with other information about you to determine your identity. I think just your approximate age ("I'm 10" vs. "I just turned 10 yesterday") is low-risk, especially if you're not stupid enough to go meet someone in person based on online conversations. But it's not zer…

After reading a bunch of forum posts at once, I notice that people are posting their age a lot, either in the body of a message or in their signature.

Although not as bad as posting your exact birthday, your age could be combined with other information about you to determine your identity. I think just your approximate age ("I'm 10" vs. "I just turned 10 yesterday") is low-risk, especially if you're not stupid enough to go meet someone in person based on online conversations. But it's not zero-risk, and it's a little risky for us, too, to have such information about you, especially if you are under 18.

I'm always curious about how old people are, so I understand the temptation. But, check with your parents before you post your age, at least. Thanks.

Second of all, I've already made a block like this here.

Okay Thanks For Letting Me Know!

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you want, but you shouldn't have to edit xml to make the block shape you want.

[jordan0112]

Anyways Thanks! For The Block!

I Know That But I Want A Block Shape Like The Else if Or Else You Know

Could you, or maybe @joecooldoo, post a picture of the block you want?

C-shaped blocks: You can!

But you don't declare this in the opening make-a-block dialog. It's when you're adding inputs that you can declare an input to be a C-shaped slot.

What Happened With This

I Knew You Could Make Normal C Shaped Blocks But I'm Talking About A Block Shape Like Else Or Else If You Know

[joecooldoo]

Just letting you know, capitalizing every letter of your sentence is really making your posts hard to read for me.

[jordan0112]

okay so like this!

[cst1229]

Like ? Then just do the same procedure as C blocks, but you make it a predicate block instead:

[joecooldoo]

Better. (I would do this: Capitalize the first word of every sentence blah blah lets get back on topic)

[jordan0112]

Okay thanks!

[helicoptur]

I think he means like this:

(Image is approximated. Clicking the arrow would make another boolean and another C-slot.)
Which isn't currently supported by Snap!.

[cst1229]

However, I think the Snap! devs are planning to add input groups which will allow this.

I think we are all not understanding what block shape you want, from your description, especially if it's something different from the examples cst1229 and joecooldo posted. We need a picture, not just you saying the same words again.

Also, and more important: You are putting the cart before the horse by saying you're only interested in a solution that involves editing the xml of your project. The goal of Snap! is to be a full-featured programming language; you shouldn't have to program in some other language to get a result in Snap!. If there's something you really can't do in Snap! itself, that would be the time to talk about xml.
