Why doesn't this replace work?


(this is a script pic that you can drag into editor and import that bad behaving block
So I'm makaing a new os featuring a function to compile os-unfriendly blocks to os-friendly one
But the substitutor doesn't quite work!

Maybe share a link to the project with just this test script so we can debug it ourselves and report back.

You can drag the script pic into an empty project.

the culprit:

I still can't import either of these because they're just images.

Click on the image to expand it to it's full size (original image), then drag that into snap. It will try to import the script.

@d4s_over_dt4 I do agree with @bloct that you should share a project instead of just a script pic when looking for help. Script pics should only be used when a user is demonstrating some script, or giving a solution.

Ok,but I have already found an alternative

That has never worked for me - I get

I have to right-click and save the image and then drag the saved image into Snap!
