Stop button detection

SargentPorkchop

Hello, I've seen projects that have something happen after someone hits the stop button by the green flag. I'm not sure how it's done but It would be really handy to know. Thank you for your time and consideration.

when [Timer v] > (1)

Will still fire. If the project keeps resetting the timer when it's running then when the stop button is hit then the timer will no longer reset and your script is then free to run.

Thank you guys so much I did something similar but it didn't work because it was like this:

when green flag clicked
forever
    
reset timer
end

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <(timer) > [ 0.5]> then
    Do stuff
end

end

Sorry for necroposting,(this was the only forum i could find that was still open about this) but is there a way to detect the stop button without using the timer?

You can create a new topic rather than necroposting.
I don't think there's any way to detect stop button without using the timer.

I used to have this problem too! There are multiple ways you can do this, but here's the simplest:

in any sprite/backdrop, do this:

when green flag clicked
forever
reset timer
end

Then in the sprite(s) that will be triggered when the stop button is pressed, add this:

when [Timer v] > (0)
then whatever you want to happen when the stop sign is clicked

Do stuff[scratchblocks]
when green flag clicked
forever
reset timer
when [ timer] > (0.1)
end
