Scratch Stop Button Detector

In today's Scratch tutorial, I show you how to code a stop button detector. This is similar to the "When Green Flag Clicked" block, but instead of detecting the Green Flag being clicked, it detects the Stop Button being clicked.

Nicely done Concept of a "when stop sign clicked" block.

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Wow thanks!

[@Rory432]

For thumbnails I used to just do when flag is click set ghost effect to 0 and that would make it show when the stop is clicked but this is better couse I can give it an animation

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Coool!

Unless you want it to move

[@mochesartarimel6625]

[@tabbyearth8377]

I use hide and show blocks

[@CommanderAka]

I use forever loops

[@TheMaxGuy]

i wanna say this is a better way of doing it, because if you have any other scripts relying on the timer, they don't break. however, if you use "when green flag clicked forever reset timer" and "when timer > 0.01", they WILL break.

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Cool!

[@susmitadash1167]

If you want to make a thumbnail you can also forever set the ghost effect to 100 and go to front layer so when you stop the project all the effects go so the thumbnail shows.

[@toasturhztoastbunz896]

Apart of me thinks that the timer running after the stop sign has been clicked was probably just a glitch or oversight by the developers of scratch. If that's the case then I really hope they don't patch it. There are many uses with this trick.

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Yeah, I hope so too- It's really usefull bug LOL.

@kahil mujaddid Aljuffry i think is 1.4

[@DiamondRBXIsARat]

this is extremely useful! However, this only works when people click the stop sign. This is very unfortunate for me because I'm making something that checks the amount of players online, but if you simply press the green flag again you can make the players online variable go up infinitely.

[@cosmocode75]

I had the same problem

[@cosmocode75]

thank you, I'm gonna use this on a project so it can hide health variables when the stop button is hit and the thumbnail shows!

[@smolmole]

Also there's an easier way to do this guys just put the reset timer in a forever loop and if the timer is greater than 0.1 mean it didn't reset meaning you stopped the project then trigger it

now that's one way to keep the players playing

Players with the Scratch Addons browser extention: PAUSE People who are bored: *Leaves the game on idle*

[@sirchair199]

@ShiftClickLearn is there any way to do this multiple times? Edit: I have found a way to make this into a loop I have used a reset time and a another forever loop setting the var to timer I made a broadcast called "use blocks" and made a block for separate scripts so when the sprite receives the broadcast you can use the blocks, hope this helps!

[@sirchair199]

Do I use a reset timer when a button is pressed to make this a loop?

[@ShiftClickLearn]

Hm, I really don't know off the top of my head!

[@sirchair199]

@@ShiftClickLearn Its ok now I know how to do it :D

[@unixity_WasTaken]

I would do a when timer is greater than 0.001 and on the green flag clicked I would do a forever loop resetting the timer.

I have an EZ method. That won't contain Variables When the green flag clicked--switch costume to FLAG Another Script When green flag clicked--Forever--reset timer (Should be inside the forever) Another script-- when timer is > 0.1 ( This block is available in Events)-- switch costume to STOP I think This will work without a variable Thank you :)

[@twdneganfan4725]

This is good in all but you can just put forever reset timer, when timer 0, do what you want

[@ShiftClickLearn]

The reason I didn't do that is because some functions use the timer as a variable, and resetting the timer will break them.
