Help needed! Please!
In the game I'm making, when you hit the 'o' key, a bunch of obstacles go by continuously.
How do i get it so that when I hit the 'o' key again, it will stop that script?

I don't think you can. You would probably have to use a different letter to make the script stop.
Scratch is so cool!

You could create a variable called Stop/Start. The first time you press "O" you could say
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if> <key[ o ]pressed?>
<if><( <{ S/S }> <=> 1 )>
<set{ S/S }to( 2
<else>
<if><( <{ S/S }> <=> 2 )>
<set{ S/S }to( 1
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if> <( <{ S/S }> <=> 2 )>
<stop script>

Re: Help needed! Please!
If you want the script to sop forever when you press O, this is what I'd do:
<when green flag clicked>
<wait until><key[ O ]pressed?>
<wait until><not> <key[ O ]pressed?> >>
<forever>
[your movement scripts here]
<if><key[ O ]pressed?>
<stop script>
<end>
<end>
[/blocks]If you want to make it so that you can toggle it from moving to not moving, make a variable called moving. Then make these 2 scripts:
[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<set{ moving }to( 0
<forever>
<if><key[ O ]pressed?>
<if><( <{ moving }> <=> 0 )>
<set{ moving }to( 1
<else>
<set{ moving }to( 0
<end>
<wait until><not> <key[ O ]pressed?> >>
<end>
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><( <{ moving }> <=> 1 )>
[your movement scripts here]
<end>
<end>
[/blocks]

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Help needed! Please!
So the toggling one doesn't work? OK, let me test my script out, just wait. I'll edit this post when I'm done.
Edited: I don't know why it didn't work for you, but I posted a project with a working script. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/hmnwilson/365856
