Thanks for these thoughtful ideas. We seriously considered adding "stop sprite". It didn't make the cut for Scratch 1.4 but maybe next release. The "when I receive" test is another block we've considered adding. As Redsooty9 said, you can use something like "go back 1000 layers" to get the effect of "go to back". What would "pause" do? Thanks for thinking about this.
Love the suggestions. The 'reset timer' will set the timer back to zero. And while you can't change the timer, you could have a variable that you add one to in a forever loop that waits a second, and then adds one, so making your own timer which you can then add one to in other sprites. I know its a hack but it could get the job done. And you could have a broadcast that is received in a sprite which then triggers a 'stop script'...but I like your idea better. Great suggestions.
you could and i have tryed that but there is a glitch (kinda) in scratck and if you do that it really isnt an accurate timer. you should try it by using the real timer and one you made and compare them.

go to back is: forever: GO BACK 1000000000000000000 layers forever end
yeah...I REALLY WANT the 'when I receive <>' block

what he means is that he wants a block that would set the timer to a certain number...
YES!!! I'M THINKING EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!
yeah the broadcasting and timer 1's would be awsome and the other's would be nice 2
Yeah, that's good
If variables had more different block appearances...
the bottom two already exist...
no they dont
(view all replies)I want pause,when I receive to and stop sprite but timer,You can make variable and do that "Set timer to timer"

Well that's good drawing!!
Oh, and I dont think we actually need the go to back block, because we can just use 'go back__layers'
how do you draw the blocks?? do you use squeak??? and where can i get the program that you use? to make these blocks?
i drew them-no lie
How about: Stop timer.
okay!!!
I want them to!
ya, i want those too
Tell me blocks that you need and I will draw them!!!
i need for my chat project: set internet chat stongness to __
