Does anyone have a method for sensing answers????

What do you mean?

Is this possibly what you mean?

Also, you could then create this block to create an output:

Hope this helps (-:

Exactly! Lokks like the OP wants to prevent to ask until the previous ask and wait has finished to avoid cancel this one, but before to set the variable to 1 they would must store such answer firstly(in a list or variable perhaps?), otherwise to do it when the (answer) task has finished.

@tigerchrisc please give details about you want to achieve.
