it requires something called a message block
What book? Thanks.
Welcome to Snap!
You mean this block? It used to be in snap, but it was eventually removed from the block pallete (where all the blocks can be found)
it still works though, thankfully. (You should be able to drag this image from the forums directly into snap, it will appear in the script editor!)
To add onto this, it was deprecated because it’s bad practice, you can lead to race conditions when multiple messages are broadcast at once, and there’s likely a better way to do what you’re trying to do without it. It’s better to either have a specific when I receive [message V] @> block for the message you want, or use when I receive [any message V] ((message)) @< to receive any message and get the message that was sent.
to anyone also having the same issue you can shift click the logo in the editor and switch to dev mode which ads way more options and the message block
i figured it out i dont need help anymore
yea that was the block but i figured out i can get it in dev mode
its called learn to code anything by unbinders
Shift click on the Snap! logo and click “switch to dev mode”. And then grad the message block in the controls palette and click on the Snap! logo again and click “switch back to user mode” to prevent any freezing from errors.
