So Im working on a project that requires custom blocks. The custom blocks need inputs but i dont know how to get the inputs on the custom blocks to actually change what happens. Like, for example, if i made a custom block that ill call “draw rectanle” and it has 2 inputs, one for x-coord and one for y-coord; and then i define it as printing a rectangle of a certain size, how would I get the inputs in “draw rectangle” to actually change where the rectangle it draws gets placed.
The way drawing a rectangle works is
- Value 1: Top Left Corner X coordinate
- Value 2: Top Left Corner Y coordinate
- Value 3: Width of the rectangle
- Value 4: Height of the rectangle
Then using the the brain screen with this image.

If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, the labeled spots for inputs in the define header can be dragged out and placed where the numbers would be. example below.

The inputs are variables. Here is a link to an explanation of how to use them: https://kb.vex.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046831112-Using-My-Blocks-in-VEXcode-V5
