How can you make a hat block in Panther, if it's possible?

Just curious, but would this script work?

Enjoying my panther block!    *dingdingdingding etc*

Yes it would, and that block has been requested.
EDIT: WAAIT!
Stop block is like Stop Script but for a block.

What would you need?
A variable that only runs the script if set as "run" or whatever?

Nope. What you just made was "if the Boolean is false, run forever, otherwise do nothing."

What you should do if a Boolean is supposed to be evaluated several times is not make the input Boolean, but make it Boolean unevaluated and instead of if (Boolean) you want if (call (Boolean)). But even this wont work for the above block, it will simply be repeat until <>, as you are saying "keep on checking if this is false, and whenever it is, run the script but when it's true, stop". Basically the requested block is actually impossible to make with BYOB 3.1.1.
(also, Boolean is meant to be capitalised)

That's almost the same thing as:

forever if <not (boolean)>
[do something]
end

However, this only checks once at the beginning of the script, rather than continuously during the script. Depending on your use case, this may or may not work.

Actually, because of the stop block, it is

if <not (Boolean)>
forever
run script

No, I was describing the desired (not given) sequence of blocks, as a replacement for the custom block call itself. Your example describes what would happen if the block existed but the boolean slot were not unevaluated.

Is putting the credits in a .txt that is included with the mod ok? And do I have to say exactly which block each user made?

I belive you should modify the "About Scratch" menu, in the Help menu. I would make a new one (simply create a new one, and copy the code over) and change the name. Then include the credits for the people who made the blocks..
I belive this should be enough:

Thanks to everyone in the Block Libary for the blocks in this mod!

Actually the desired block is that it runs the script but between every block it checks the condition and if it is true it pauses the script until it is false, (it basically should add a wait until not between each block) however this is impossible to make with existing BYOB features. The desired block would be the equivalent of turning

run
block1
block2
block3
but if <something> pause

block1
wait until <not <something>>
block2
wait until <not <something>>
block3
wait until <not <something>>

How do I save my panther blocks?

you don't. 

No. seriously, you can't save your blocks unless you hack panther. Good idea though.

Oh.One time use only?
