how to stop all sprites

blackswan2428

I've tried everything to stop all sprites but the one that I can control still moves when I put the stop all block

asivi

stop [all v]

Keyboard event scripts will run even though your project is not running.
This happens after “stop all”.

To prevent this, add a variable such as Project Running to your project.
Set Project Running to true after the Green Flag.
Set Project Running to false all when you stop your project.

In the Keyboard event scripts, first check if Project Running = true before running the script in them.

when [right arrow v] key pressed
if <(Project Running) = [true]> then

end

If you have any of these cap blocks:

when [... v] key pressed

when this sprite clicked

when backdrop switches to [ v]

when [... v] > (10)

Those can still run even after the project is stopped. Hence why “when timer > 0” is an unstoppable script.
The biggest problem is probably “when key pressed”. You can replace all of those blocks with:

when gf clicked
forever
if <key [... v] pressed?> then
...
end
end

And where would that go? Assuming you mean ‘stop all’ the script doing that would only actually run once. If it was triggered by a key press or whatever it doesn't need a forever loop and once it has stopped the other key press scripts etc would still work.

The only way it would work is if the project constantly reset the timer when it was running and you had something like

when (timer) > (0.05)
stop [all v]

with a possible timer reset before the stop.

Doesn't help to stop scripts with the header blocks described though. They will function whether or not the project is running.
