Tropic, have you been on for the past 10 hours? Non-stop?

No, I've been on a few minutes every hour this morning, and some hours yesterday

(I probably slept in 10 hours instead)

S to the u to the double p drop it back to the o and bring it back for the r and t

Bump.

Sorry I'm just bringing up these posts again, but they are necessary.

Well, this one isn't necessary, persay, but it's certainly interesting

I think it would be best integrated into the current stop block:

stop [this loop v]

The choice would only show up when using the block in a loop to minimize confusion.

Good idea! If the mobile version of scratch had an edit button, I'd edit my post and add that!

But the mobile version of scratch does not have an edit button, so I'll guess I'll have to wait ten hours again.

PS: My iPod is so old the standard version of scratch crashes it.

Support it could be an addition to the stop block:

stop [this loop v]

Yes, good idea.

Would have been even more worthwhile if it wasn't in the original post, but I'm glad you support

support (for having a break statement, any of the discussed names is fine for me)

I know a block called the for each block.

I forgot what the project was called but I have it in my backpack.

First. You put a head block like this one.

when green flag clicked

If you wanna put a cloning technique, put this block.
when green flag clicked
create clone of [ v]

Then put this head block.

when I start as a clone

Anyways. Then you put the for each block and it says for each v of 10.
For all I know NOW, it is like this basic script,

when green flag clicked
move () steps
turn ccw () degrees
move () steps
Remember, follow me! :lol:

A cloning technique? I think it's just called cloning block or something like that. (Btw, have you watched Naruto? I'm pretty sure there's a cloning technique there so that might be why you wrote that)

Workaround: Broadcast and wait to other script, then use “stop this script” after broadcasting back.

So I guess you mean something like this?:

broadcast [start loop v] and wait
say (i) // shows the index of John in list

when I receive [start loop v]
set [i v] to [0]
repeat (length of [list v])
    if <(item (i) of [list v]) = [John]> then
        stop [this script v]
    end
change [i v] by [1]
end

It works but it takes more time than just using a block that exits the loop

Support for this.

This post deserves a much-needed bump. Programming in another language (Lego Mindstorms EV3 for a robotics competition, Robocup 2015 to be exact) has changed my scripting style a bit and I use the break loop block a lot, and I find that it is very useful. Especially in Scratch when I tend to use lots of lists and variables.

The post above mine is not a necropost as it provides a logical reason as to why, and offers helpful content.
