Hi There.
I need help with my project, Virtual Pet
When my Energy bar is equal to 0, the sprite doesn't seem to stop moving
Instead, I want a piece of code which can stop the sprite for a while until the energy bar is 1 or more
This same problem goes for My Thirsty bar and Hungry Bar
Here is my code:

when green flag clicked
hide variable [ Thirsty]
hide variable [ Energy]
hide variable [ Hungry]
set [ Thirsty] to [0]
set [ Energy ] to [5]
set [ Hungry] to [0]
forever
if <(Energy) = [0]> then
switch costume to [ monkey2-c]
say [Look, I'm Tired] for (2) secs
say [Don't worry! Some of my energy will come back after 20 secs] for (2) secs
say [Just don't make me do any energy-consuming activities, okay? ] for (2) secs
end
wait (15) secs
change [ Hungry] by (1)
wait (5) secs
change [ Thirsty] by (1)
wait (20) secs
change [ Energy] by (1)

end

end

Please tell me some code which I can add inside the

if <> then

end

block

Ummm where is the movement script

I can be of more help if you share the project

That forever loop is only checking for Energy=0 once every 40 seconds.

I don't understand…

The wait blocks to take away hunger/thirst inside the loop are making the game wait to check for the energy level

i have found the issue and will share the code as a remix as I was debugging it
please give credit to me

Because you do this

forever
if something
end if
wait 40 seconds with occasional variable changes
end

So how can the loop check the value without waiting 40 seconds between checks?
