Pause/Resume
I support this suggestion because sometimes I'm watching an animation and then I have to go do something, and I have to click the stop button. This would be useful to me

What about this work-around?Yes that is truewhen [space v] key pressed
wait until <not <key [space v] pressed?>>
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
broadcast [stop v]
wait until <key [space v] pressed?>
when I receive [stop v] //This script goes in the other sprites.
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
stop [this script v]

Oh yes, you would also need this:What about this work-around?Yes that is truewhen [space v] key pressed
wait until <not <key [space v] pressed?>>
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
broadcast [stop v]
wait until <key [space v] pressed?>
when I receive [stop v] //This script goes in the other sprites.
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
stop [this script v]
foreverBut since that is lengthy, I support, it would make things way easier.
reset timer
end
when [timer v] > (0.1)
wait until <key [space v] pressed?>
broadcast [start everything v]

Support! This would be useful for projects with long play times. Also, the Scratch player being a media player, it should really include a pause button as a basic control.
What about this work-around?I see this suggestion as being for the convenience of the user, not the creator, so editing the project and adding a pause script isn't the best solution. It might also be hard to do if you don't understand the creator's coding.when [space v] key pressed
wait until <not <key [space v] pressed?>>
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
broadcast [stop v]
wait until <key [space v] pressed?>
when I receive [stop v] //This script goes in the other sprites.
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
stop [this script v]

I give support. BUT, it should be enabled or disabled by the user creating the project. Because what if the game only wants you to see something for only 1 second? (as a memory game of some sort). etc.

That would be nice, but what if it is an animation and the user would like to see where he paused?I give support. BUT, it should be enabled or disabled by the user creating the project.

Support if I haven't already. This would be useful for movie projects long animations.

Support! This would be helpful, especially if you have an animation that's like super long.

What about this work-around?The problem with this is that you will have to start scripts after the “wait until key space pressed” block, since they have been stopped. So, you'd need a separate script for EVERY SINGLE frame/instance, since you can't start a script at a part inside of it.when [space v] key pressed
wait until <not <key [space v] pressed?>>
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
broadcast [stop v]
wait until <key [space v] pressed?>
when I receive [stop v] //This script goes in the other sprites.
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
stop [this script v]

100% support. I sometimes am watching an animation/playing a game on Scratch and then I'll have to do something, like I have to go to the bathroom/get a drink of water or something, or maybe my parents want me to do chores/something and often my parents don't understand that Scratch doesn't have a pause button. Well, technically it does, but unfortunately it causes you to restart the whole thing.
If I were watching YouTube, that wouldn't be a problem because it has a pause/resume button..

Why haven't I said support yet? Support because I've wanted to take breaks between projects to do something, and there are no good workarounds. Plus, even if there was a good workaround, you still wouldn't find it in most projects anyways! Also bump.
