How to stop a broadcast block in a forever loop.

IAMTHEOWL

I'm making a game that has the code:

when I receive [say  v]
forever
if <[(says)] = [Hello]> then 
broadcast [Hi v] 

  

else
if <[(says)] = [Hi]> then
broadcast [Hello  v]

  

else

end

end

etc
But the broadcast block is in a forever loop so it keeps on running the code:

when I receive [ Hi v]
say (join [Hello,] [(name)]) for (2) secs

so dose any body know how to make the

forever
if <[(says)]> = [Hello]> then
broadcast [Hi v]
end

part not broadcast it forever?

So why is it a forever loop if you don't want that to happen. If you only want it to happen once each time the event occurs add a wait until not event.

ninjaMAR

when I receive [say v]
if <code here> then
broadcast [hi v]
end

because It's a

if <> then

end

block so it has to be in a forever loop.

I need it to be an

if <> then 

  

else

end

or it wont work I already tried.

stop [all v]

it kinda works but not really. I need something else.

when I receive [say  v]
wait until<<(says) = [Hello]> or <(says) = [Hi]>>
if <(says) = [Hello]> then 
broadcast [Hi v]
else
if <(says) = [Hi]> then
broadcast [Hello  v]
else
end
end

Did you try a

wait until <Event>

Block?

I prefer to use wait until in those circumstances rather than an if block wihin a forever loop. However you can still do it that way - just stop the script after the broadcast.

Use the repeat block. You control how long it loops for,. You'll need to experiment a lot to get it to stop at the right point.

Block (Just in case):

repeat ()

end

Located under the forever block.
