Currently stop blocks only include: stop all, stop this script, stop other scripts in sprite. I really need this script for my game. Can you make another stop block option. Stop a certain script. I was thinking you would drag down from the stop script and when you clicked the option it would ask you, “Which script would you like to be stopped?” and then you would click on the script in the sprite. Would anyone find this script helpful? I would like Scratch Team to check this out.

Support because this would be useful

Thanks!

you can just put a stop this script in your script. no support.

Workaround:

when green flag clicked
...
broadcast [Stop Script v]

when I receive [Stop Script v]
set [Stop 1 v] to [1]

when this sprite clicked
if <(Stop 1) = [1]> then
    
stop [This Script v]
else
   ...
end

This would most likely work, so no support.

The problem is, if you have to use wait blocks or glide blocks and you need the script to stop right away then it wouldn't work. Here's why I need that block: I'm making a game and in the enemy's script I need it. Here's the scripts:

when backdrop switches to [Game Starts v]
glide (...) secs to x: (...) y: (...)
glide (...) secs to x: (...) y: (...)

etc.


For the second script:

when backdrop switches to [game starts v]

forever
    
wait (...) secs
next costume
end

For the last script:

when backdrop switches to [game starts v]

forever
    
if <touching [missile v] ?> then
stop [script 2 v]    
end

end

So as you can see, I can't put if <something> inside script 2 because it uses wait blocks. (Unless I used like 50 wait blocks like 0.01 second. Then if <this> then like 50 of those inside the same script!) I don't want script 1 to stop. I want script 3 to stop script 2. Do you get it now?

You could do this:

forever
if <(foo) = [stop]> then 
stop [ v]
  

else

end
end

when green flag clicked
...
broadcast [Stop Script v]

when I receive [Stop Script v]
set [Stop 1 v] to [1]

when this sprite clicked
if <(Stop 1) = [1]> then
    
stop [This Script v]
else
   ...
end

Won't work. If someone clicked the sprite, and then met the requirements to stop the script, it'd just keep going because it will only check for this at the beginning of the script. Huge support. This could help a lot.

How would one select the script to stop? Would this also stop scripts outside the sprite/stage?

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me, I forgot to check the date!

My problem is when the background switches, I want it to stop repeating. And I set the stop block to this script.

Once people get to more advanced coding, though, they will likely not use glide blocks and may replace wait blocks with variable timers, allowing it to still work.

Either this function is broken in v 3.0 or something is wrong. Stop script does't seem to be working.

Almost the hardest workaround ever, obviously the only harder workarounds are private messaging, cloud lists, “bounce” block, and so forth.

Besides, the workaround doesn't even work in 3.0.

Therefore, Support.

Support. Would help a lot with games with clones.

If you want to stop a certain script, use the define block

define (x)
stop [this script v]

How would this work? Would scripts have to be numbered? No support.
