I got a new idea! We should have the ability to stop specific scripts.

stop script [script 1 v] in [myself v]:: control

If you want to know more about adding names to scripts check out my proposal about adding names to scripts here.

Just use the

stop [this script v]

under the script you wanna stop.

That won't work! I'm suggesting a block that can stop other specific scripts.

Just use the block I said and put it under the script you wanna stop.

It only works if it's in the same script that needs to be stopped.

Yeah, that is why we don't need it.

This can somewhat simply worked-around.

Create a variable. When the variable is set to something, then the script stops.

(stop?)

when green flag clicked
set [stop? v] to [no]
...
set [stop? v] to [yes]

//meanwhile on the other script

...
wait until <(stop?) = [yes]> //the same can be achieved with a forever loop and an if, or a repeat until
stop [this script v]

That's not the block we need! I'm suggesting a block that can be put inside a script that stops another script. Also, my suggestion can stop scripts in other sprites as well.

it isn't needed, imagine if it did exist
how would the scripts be labeled?
it would be cool if it exist and was able to stop custom blocks

define custom
...

stop script [custom v]:: control stack

You could just use broadcasting:

when green flag clicked
...::grey
broadcast [stop v]
when I receive [stop v]
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
stop [this script v]

However, using broadcasting like this can only stop whole sprites.

To stop the sprite use:

stop [other scripts in sprite v]
stop [this script v]

But what if there was a forever loop with that custom in there? That wouldn't work!

I support. Occasionally I find myself in situations where this would be a more convenient solution than what I had to do.
