y stretch

y stretch
y stretch::looks reporter
Block Type	Reporter Block
Category / Extension	Looks

The y stretch block is a reporter block in the Looks category that reports the value of the y stretch, or the stretch of the sprite vertically. By default, the value of y stretch is 100, which is also the default value in the set stretch to x: () y: () block.

Workaround

This block can be worked around by using a variable to save the y stretch when the set stretch to x: () y: () block is used:

when gf clicked
set [y stretch v] to [100]
define set stretch to x: (xPos) y: (yPos)
set stretch to x: (xPos) y: (yPos)::looks
set [y stretch v] to (yPos)

However, this workaround would need checks to make sure valid numbers are inputted if there is a possibility for invalid inputs in the code. set stretch to x: () y: () custom block would be used in place of the actual block in places other than the define block code.
A similar workaround can also be done for the x stretch block.
