Hi there,

I'm working on a project and making some good progress, however I'm not sure why a forever loop isn't running.

It belongs to the white text sprite. I've created a variable that turns to true so I know the sprite is receiving the gameOver broadcast, however the variable doesn't change to false as expected which means the forever code is being completely ignored.

Is there a reason for this? I bet there is, but I cannot for the life of me think what it could be…

Change this in the “Rocks” sprite:

This makes the it so that the text loop doesn't get cancelled when it starts.

Question. Does stop all. mean stop all scripts within the broadcast section.

When I change this to stop other scripts it brings other scripts out which I didn't want to run. Do you have any tips on how to have more control on which scripts run when.. Does it all revolve around variables?

EDIT..

No It was a quick and easy fix. Your solution helped a lot thanks.

If you could give your thoughts on the different stop block that'd be awesome, I'll give the scratch wiki article another read too.

stop all - stops everything in the project
stop this script - stop the script it was run in
stop other scripts in this sprite - stops other script in the sprite/clone it was run in

Stop all stops the entire project. Everything freezes and every script stops. To run it again you need to click the green flag.

Very helpful @Thingied and @HeHeTeeHeeHee

Still getting the hang of the way scratch wants you to program..

It's a great tool, but like any program, has little idiosyncrasies.

Thanks again
