[stop all∇ for () seconds]

This is extremely useful, and of what I know, there are no workarounds.

You can work around it by resetting the timer just before you stop all, and have “when timer > N”.
You need to have a variable you set just before you stop, so you know that the “when timer” should only continue if that variable is set as expected.

Might be worth noting that you can use a similar technique to do some ‘clearing up’ if someone presses stop at some point in your project. You just need to have some way to keep track of what sort of stage your project is at, so you know what & when to clear up if it happens.
For example, I use it in my ping test project to try to clear up the cloud variable that contains the user's connected info, so the next ‘player’ to connect sees it as free immediately. Can't deal with someone navigating away to a different page, though…

How about “pause” instead of“stop all”, it's not stopping if it starts again in a definite number of seconds.

@mythoslore was so much more obvious than @spookily

So basically, a feature that would pause all scripts in the project? Seems like it could be useful for syncing purposes, but maybe we should also have an option to pause until a certain condition is met, such as a timer reaching a certain number or a button being pressed.

Workaround-ish…

wait (number of seconds::grey) secs

Made using Nord Theme & Inkscape

No. It won’t pause all scripts.

Support, there might be workarounds, but that's not a reasonable reason to not support a suggestion.

Scratch is about making easy accessible blocks without a hassle of a work around, this can support my claim.

pause::control
play::control

define pause for (x) secs
pause::control
wait (x) secs
play::control

Not necroposting in suggestions.

Yeah, a lot of posting on old topics, but no necroposting in suggestions.

I like these better than this block.

The problem with two dedicated blocks for pausing and playing, is that the play block would never actually run. Think about it, if the entire project is paused, how would the play block be activated?

Maybe it would pause everything except the detection for any executing blocks. Examples:

show
hide
switch costume to [ v]
next costume
switch backdrop to [ v]
next backdrop
clear graphic effects
clear
broadcast [ v]
reset timer
set [ v] to []
add [] to [list v]
delete ( v) of [list v]
insert [] at (1 v) of [list v]
replace item ( v) of [list v] with [thing]

EDIT: Whoops I forgot to change to Pianostar4 lol

pause [all scripts v] for (2) seconds ::control
pause [this script v] for (2) seconds ::control
pause [other scripts in this sprite v] for (2) seconds ::control

If you add the block to all scripts, it will pause all scripts

I agree. It should be:

pause [all v] for (...) seconds :: control // pause instead of stop

Support. The workaround may be hard to set up.
