Does anyone know how to stop a score in the middle of a script, but have the score block still show? I have a student whose score is counting down and when it touches a certain sprite he wants the score to stop but remain there to be seen. Can't figure it out.

Hmm. Since I haven't seen your student's scripts I can't be sure, but one way to do it might be to put in an "if" block so that the score only counts down if the sprites are not touching. Like this, perhaps:

forever
     if <not<touching [sprite 1 v]?>>
     change [score v] by (-1)
     end
wait (1) secs

Is that similar to what you are looking for?

If alternatively the student wanted the score to completely stop updating when it touches a sprite then you could do this:

when gf clicked
repeat until <touching [sprite v]?>
change [score v] by [-1]
end
