No, the OP is different. There isn't a workaround, and it isn't a loop.

#228 works! I tell you, I can see what a simple code does without running it. Sometimes I miss something, but this time it works. Why is this even still a discussion? That's the perfect workaround, more or less.

It's still a discussion because there's a workaround for almost every single block that is in Scratch.

But why is there still a discussion about a workaround? Why does the creator says that it doesn't work?

So, here's #228, just a little bit improved with a variable, as I said: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/408656650/

Although this point was already mentioned before by whiteandblackcat at #221, I feel the need to restate it. The thing with the main workarounds is that they not only stop the intended script, but any other that are still running. While you could hook up another message to continue it, it can be hard to figure out what point the message should start at.

As an example, if I were to add this script below into your project, I could also stop it at any time since the workaround halts every other script, and finding the point I stopped at to restart the script might be a bit difficult due to the repeat loops. Of course, it runs fine if the condition is never met as the “stop other scripts in sprite” is never activated.

when green flag clicked // Refer to above.
repeat (10)
move (10) steps
wait (0.5) secs
end
repeat (40)
next costume
wait (0.25) secs
end
forever
play sound [pop v]
wait (0.125) secs
end

This is a signature, for any new forum users wondering. I find this topic rather interesting.

You can just make a sepatare sprite for this. And that's the reason why I want the stop script x block so hard: Other stops are just not precise.

have you read post 222? if not that should clear things up pretty well. and your workarounds don't do what the OP wants. however, i took a look at you stop script x suggestion and if it were to be added, it would make for a way better working workaround.

A workaround could be that you do a variable, and set it to something when the certain action is true, then do if (variable) = (Number) then

IT IS NOT A LOOP!
So it's like this?
stop when <> {

then go to the thing under it
OK. So if I write this code
stop when <touching [mouse-pointer v]?> {
wait (1) seconds :: control
} :: control
say [Hi!]
it would say “Hi!” when either 1 second passes or you move mouse over the sprite?
yes but what if you had more text in the script, normaly it would not do it but with this
finish unless <[monkeys] = [3]>
set [dogs v] to [7]
set [monkeys v] to [3]
set [oof v] to [2]
end
ask [] and wait
(amagine it looking like reapet until but saying finish unless)
it would skip the off and then go to asking

Yes, but it's unconstructive and frowned upon in the forums. Saying ‘I agree’ ‘doesn’t add anything to the discussion, same as saying just ‘Support’, or just ‘No Support’, without a reason.
