how do u use vm.runtime.startHats

[dumorando]

Scratch.vm.runtime.startHats('dumoUI_event' + html, {
    ID: 'test'
}, Scratch.vm.runtime.getSpriteTargetByName(util.thread.target.getName()));

it is not running the hats with the id argument set to test
it just says s[e] is undefined
please hlep

that option only works with fields

this?

[JeremyGamer13]

yea startHats only works with menus, and those menus cant accept reporters

[dumorando]

ohhhhhhhhhh i see
is there any way i could make the way im doing work tho

[JeremyGamer13]

you basically just need to always run start hats and have the hat itself decide if it should run
this might help: https://docs.turbowarp.org/development/extensions/hats#predicate-based-hat-blocks

not sure if this is supported in PM or any mods yet btw since i dont remember this being in the docs

[dumorando]

pretty sure i did something similar to this in vanilla scratch and it worked so i dont see why it wouldnt here

it has been here since the scratch extension format was created

[dumorando]

turns out i dident need to do that, i can just do vm.runtime.startHats("johnMyExtension_logToConsole", {TEXT:"test"}) and it works.for some reason text and number values turn into "TEXT" and idk what the number one is but it works

[JeremyGamer13]

if the menu accepts reporters it wont work
(also whats the purpose of Scratch.vm.runtime.getSpriteTargetByName(util.thread.target.getName()) over just util.target )
