My code is:

repeat until <<key [down arrow] pressed?> or <(timeleft) = [0]>>
wait (1) secs
change [timeleft] by (-1)
end

When I click the down arrow, the code doesn't stop running. I don't know what is causing this problem

I tried recreating your code and I think I can see the problem. The code inside the “repeat until” block needs to complete running all the blocks inside it before the “key down arrow pressed? or timeleft = 0” can be activated, which is why the code won't stop on command.

I do however have a workaround to this problem:



Making a new sprite called “Timer” or something like that, then adding the following blocks mentioned in the image above to it. That way, when the down arrow is pressed or the timer reaches 0, the script stops immediately instead of stopping after the script has completed.

Hope this helped you out
