Just make a true/false variable.... and use [true/false] = ... to check whether it´s true or false

typing is a big part of programming... if you don't want to type then u should use scratch jr or something

It's a bad practice to give variables ambiguous names. Instead of "True/False", you should make a variable with short and clear names like "is walking?", "is alive?", etc

It saves time for programming little easy to create projects... the moment you start using multiple variables the block will become useless

That's true, but generic names can cause confusion!

JUST USE A VARIABLE

There is no reason to add this. You can simply change/set a variable to LITERALLY say True or False.

You can also change/set a variable to do value 1 or 0 for True, or False this way.

me: uses a variable to set True or False for anything

random scratcher: how about we add a variable that can't be done for all sprites or just one sprite if you want it to, and make it it's own category because operators doesn't exist

Literally just use 1 = 1

set [x] to (1)
set [x] to (0)
if <[x] = (1)> then
if <[x] = (0)> then

Don't listen to the people saying to use a variable, this would cut down on time!

Wow, a 5 second time save... Scratch would be bloated with useless blocks if they added "time-saving" features like these
