Unable to drop dragged block

[s_federici]

Version 10.2 looks like something that I could be really interested in. But, having missed infos on the latest developments (and noticing that the Snap!'s manual is still aligned to version 8.0) I'm not clear how the new blocks work.

Something that puzzles me a lot is that when I drag the "when slot signals" to the scripts area it goes straight back to the palette. Is there something that must be done in advance in order to meaningfully drag it to the scripts area?

"when slot signals" to the scripts area it goes straight back to the palette

It's intended for the Block Editor

Dynamically populating dropdown input slots

10.2 is gonna be awesome. Just sayin'.

Thanks a lot. I didn't imagine I could drag hat blocks to the Block Editor

I'm just gonna post this tutorial here:
To create a dynamic dropdown menu, you have to create a new input value, and select scripted:

To add values, drag when slot [ V] signals [edited V]::control hat into the block editor (one of the most cursed actions you could possibly do in Snap*!*), and the dropdown in the hat will populate with all of the scripted option values. To add options, you must append report (list [option1] [option2] @delInput @addInput) to the end

The latest addition is mostly for creating blocks as far as I can tell
