Pause/Resume

I'd like to add that this is impossbile to make a workaround for. This is because some blocks such as wait blocks take time to finish running and there is currently no way to pause in the middle of these blocks.
can we not just spam “use contact us” all over questions about scratch? it's really not helpful.

Starting from here, the “How delete all clones?” topic turned more into a “pause/resume” topic. So, i'm creating a new topic for this.

Some points from the old topic:

Okay so here is a suggestion “Pause/Resume Button” next to the Green Flag and Stop Sign.

I was looking at the project “Day Dream“ (absolutely beautiful) and hit the ”Stop Sign“ half way through and realized I had to go back and rewatch all I already saw (which wasn't so bad).

Anyway, a ”Pause/Resume” may solve my issue while watching daydream and my issue when running a simulation.

Of course does Pause pause everything, including Events? or only currently executing scripts?
I could envision wanting to Pause my currently executing scripts, but still want to be able to:
a) capture a screenshot (various stages of the simulation preserved in my cloud data for later review, which I am not sure I can do within scratch, but would be nice in a future version )
b) data captures to the cloud at various points (of course I could do this other ways, so a non-issue)

Need to think some more …Thanks for letting me think out loud

If you hit the pause button, would it pause the timer?

Would it pause updating cloud variables?

Would it pause the date and time blocks?

We just copy whatever BYOB does. I would say pause everything.

What does BYOB do, BTW?

I think:
It should pause all currently running scripts. The timer would be paused, but the Stage watchers of the date/time blocks wouldn't. Cloud variables would take a rest.

I also would like that, it would be like TurboWarp.org, since they do have that there.

Actually i think it's possible, since TurboWarp allows for things like that to happen. I put a wait 1 second block in a sprite, tested it there, paused midway through the 1 second wait, i resumed the project and it waited the last few miliseconds of that block.

yeah, obviously it's possible to code it if you mod scratch, i'm saying that it's impossible to make it using only Scratch blocks, meaning it's impossible to workaround in Scratch.

I support! This will make project pausing easier than just stopping it or using workarounds.

Bump.
