Stop and Continue

(just an idea here not a complete breakthrough)
possibly add a block that would let you pause either everything, or all scripts (except the one you're using, of course) for that particular sprite (or backdrop), and then let it continue after a set amount of time. this block should be activated directly or if a (certain) broadcast is received.

EXAMPLES:

(when I receive message 1) (when I receive message 1)
(stop all and wait 5 secs) OR (stop scripts in this sprite and wait 5 secs)
(continue all) (continue scripts in this sprite)


something like that anyways

sorry if this question has already been answered (i'm new) or if it cannot be done
Thanks for (at least) reading!

through the definition of the word “workaround”, i'm not sure you're saying that it's a good idea or a bad one

*sigh*. Whatever.

From the context i think it would mean “bad idea”

And it is workaround-able.

wait I just searched “workaround” and it says that technicaly what he said was:

“This has a method for overcoming a problem or limitation within this program.” (search “what does workaround mean” on google)

…wouldn't that mean that it would be useful?
I don't know if it would be useful or not but, like I said im just giving out ideas

well i didn't want it to be only like that. i was just giving an example of how it would work, not how it would actually be presented if it ever WAS made
look, if it's a bad idea and you think it shouldn't be made then tell me and i will never talk about it again
sorry…

*sigh*. Whatever.

I'll just close it so the thread becomes inactive.

Sadly, my forum signature was eaten by an evil kumquat.
