New extension: Signals

[github-actions]

Description

Adds an Call Signal action and a On Signal Call condition, allows for re-use of actions from different conditions without rewriting the same actions repeatedly.

How to use the extension

Use Call Signal as an action, and then use On Signal Call as a condition, using SignalName as the linking parameter.
This call can be re-used as many times as you want, it will go through the list of actions on the sheet once whenever called.
Works with sub-events, Call Signal can be put before On Signal Call and vice versa.

Test file contains 3 buttons, all of which toggle the visibility of a sprite, using a Call Signal and an On Signal Call action.

Thank you for submitting an extension.

Your example doesn't really show how your extension can be useful because:

• it would be easier to use an object group with the 3 buttons
• and if the 3 conditions were different, the exact same thing can be done with a variable or a "or" condition

Please update your example with a use-case that better shows why you extension might be useful.

Hey, I'm sorry, I closed the issue I first opened for this, this was related to that. I've published this extension to the community list, and have expanded upon the version that was posted here.
