Start script block

We have a stop script block, but what if we wanted a start script? It could be rather useful

Re: Start script block

But the stop script is like clicking the red one so...

Plus the both can have different uses, green flag is start all scripts, red one is stop all scripts.

stop script blocks stops only the script it is on

start script block starts only the script it is on

Re: Start script block

It would be confusing for new Scratchers. I do not support.

How would it be confusing? It's basically the opposite of the stop script...and that's not confusing...

There's already the < when green flag clicked > hat block.
In addition, there is no equivalent to this suggestion in other languages.

The problem arises when you consider how you could use it.
'start this script' when?
You can't just randomly start scripts, you must have a trigger.

Re: Start script block

Example:

I want to stop a script for 5 seconds, in the meantime I want a different script to run, then that one stops and the other one stops.

Re: Start script block

Use:

When I receive [StartScript  v]
do something
broadcast [StartScript  v]
