What I would like each hat block to look like:

when something happens [script1 v] :: hat events

You can name scripts whatever you like. And the stop block would look like this:

stop [script1 v] :: cap control

It would be easier to stop scripts that way.

There is already a block that looks like.

when I receive [ v]

and you can also already name the message.

You could litterally use these:

stop [this script v]

And broadcast events

broadcast [event v]
when I receive [event v]

No Support

It could be useful, but there is probably an easy workaround.

This is a pretty advanced trick, but there actually is a workaround for stopping individual scripts — it uses “when I receive”, but you can connect the “broadcast” block to whatever hat block you like, so it can do the exact thing you're suggesting! It's tricky to explain in a forum post but I made an example… back in… um, 2016, wow https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/102386711/

This suggestion is also being discussed in a couple other places:

• Stop a Certain Script Block, which isn't precisely the same idea, but is a “stop specific script” block that would have the same effect, and is an old and still-active topic
  
• Ability to stop certain scripts or sprites, which is the same idea (stopping script according to a name you attach), but a bit less active
  

You might want to share your input or support in one of the above links to continue the discussion in one place!
