Make input lists draw from actual lists

[purple_hippo]

I am trying to make a system for lists like scratch's.

You can make lists like in scratch now yay

I would like the input list to just show variables that are known to be lists. For this I've created a list of known lists that I add to whenever I create a list. I also need to be able to have this function to be able to make everything work in the list adding system.

So, question: can I make a list of inputs draw from an existing list/variable?

Unfortunately the only way is using javascript.

Dropdown menus via list variables

I've finally managed to make a custom reporter that I've been wanting for ages [Untitled] [userMenuFromList2 script pic] It let's you generate a dropdown menu from a list variable You just supply the name of the variable that contains the list in the second input - you can then select any item of the list in the first menu and it will report that value I just got it working tonight so probably not the final syntax ProjectName=userMenuFromList&editMode

how do I use this?

You need to load the project in and enable JavaScript extensions

Its a shame they got clobbered by the JS restriction - I was really proud of them!

I meant, how do I use this with my block?

Sorry, I don't know that. That's a lot of information on the thread so could be worth a read
