Scratch too Sensitive

I'm not sure if this has been suggested as I didn't know what to search for.

Basically, I have a project that does different things if the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 0 are pressed. The thing that the project does once a number is pressed takes quite a long to complete.

Anyway, at the same time, I want to experiment with another sprite and change a variable. So for example, I'd change it from [50] to [75]. The problem is that when I press the number 7 for inputting [75], the project immediately gets into action and does what it's meant to do when the 7 key is pressed. This gets frustrating and I hope that it can be fixed in future versions.

(I hope you know what I am talking about)

Re: Scratch too Sensitive

Put a variable in place of the [50], then set it to slider. Use the slider instead of manually adjusting the number  tongue

Yes, I did find an alternative in the end, but I just thought that it's very easy to do accidentally and it might just mess up someone's project.

Re: Scratch too Sensitive

That's true. Maybe if you edit a script while the project is running, it automatically stops?

The program shouldn't be modified just because some people lack half a brain and forget to press the stop button.
