Yes, a broadcast from Scratch will be converted to a custom event in Etoys.
I forgot that the custom event is not available in default. Open preferences from menu-halo of the world and search "etoy" to get "allowEtoyUserCustomEvents" in Etoys.

Try to receive messages from Scratch.
Couldn't figure out broadcasting from Scratch to Etoys. In Scratch I broadcast "go". In Etoys I tried a script named "go" and one named "broadcastgo" but nothing happened in Etoys. One of your short simple videos would help ;)
I guess Koji-san meant to use a custom event to trigger the script on the ScratchClient. The script name is irrelevant. If you disable "etoys friendly" you find "define a new custom event" in the "more..." submenu for the script trigger. That lets you define other triggers than "mouseDown", "mouseUp" etc. IIUC you need to name it "broadcast:go".
