Repeat until Sprite clicked or broadcast received

amoorestl

I want one of my scripts to continue to do something until another script is clicked. The sprite that I want to wait on does broadcast a message when it is clicked. So, my question is, can I either detect another sprite being clicked and put that in a repeat until or repeat a group of commands until a broadcast message is received? If there's not a way to do this directly, can you think of a good “hack” to compete it?

Thanks.

I think of one way to do it which is to use variable

set [stop? v] to [0 ]
repeat until <(stop?) = [1 ]>
    
end

For the another sprite

when this sprite clicked
set [stop? v] to [1 ]

I mean I'd like it not to click the sprite? Like, automatically.

Actually, I found another way supporting your way that worked, THANKS!

Start by creating a new topic and asking your question there please.

The answer will depend what's in the code within the loop. If it would be possible to click while other code is being run within the loop and it not be seen by the repeat until then the method shown above is still sensible.

Please do start your own thread but,

when green flag clicked
repeat until <>
<not <>><touching [(Insert rest of code here) v] ?>
end

bmsarica

i agree with @ShadowScizor

benche1

when green flag clicked
set [ variable] to [0]
repeat until <<(variable) = [1]> or <<touching [ mouse pointer] ?> and <mouse down?>>>
code
end
when I receive [ message]
set [ variable] to [1]

it like this

when green flag clicked          
forever
change [ blank] by (1)
end
when this sprite clicked
stop [ Other scripts in this sprite]

i really agree. this is terrible!!

Astral_M4ku48

when I receive [ blank]
set [any var] to [1]

when green flag clicked
repeat until <[any var] = [1]>
move (1) steps
end

You could do this
