How to restart a script that has a forever loop?
I made a script with a forever loop and I can't get it to start from the beginning. It's a long script so I can't wait 20 seconds just to wait for it to get to end script, but I can't have it stop all either.

Maybe stop the project, then start it? Or make sure your single stepping is set to normal by going to Edit>Set single Stepping>Normal

Well, one way you could do this through broadcasts. First, you'll have to edit your single script into this:
when gf clicked broadcast [Start! v]
when I receive [Start! v] forever Scripts...
Now, all you need to do to restart your script is to broadcast "Start!" and you should be good.
Just to say, you can use this method to help interrupt/stop a glide block that's already running. In fact, that's how I discovered this.
Anyway, I hope that this helps! Also, hello andrewguy and welcome to Scratch! I hope that you'll find everything great here!
With regards,
