The switch backdrop to () and wait block is a stack block and a Looks block. It functions similarly to the Switch to Backdrop () block, but this block waits for scripts under any When Backdrop Switches to () blocks to finish. This block is also similar to the Broadcast () and Wait block because they both fire a user-driven event to start an action.
The block is only in the stage palette; however, the block can be dragged into sprites and will still work there.
Example Uses
- Switching scenes temporarily
switch backdrop to (scene2 v) and wait switch backdrop to (scene1 v)
- Switching between levels
switch backdrop to (introduction v) and wait switch backdrop to (level1 v) and wait switch backdrop to (level2 v) and wait switch backdrop to (level3 v) and wait switch backdrop to (end game v)
These examples will only work as intended if there are scripts that run when a backdrop switches to a certain backdrop. This is achieved by putting blocks under the "When Backdrop Switches to ()" block.
Workarounds

One possible workaround is:
