Repeat until block that terminates immediatly
A repeat until <variable> block will stop when it meets <variable>, like it's supposed to. However, the only way to make it stop immediatly when the variable is met is to input a tedious amount of if blocks, which also slows the program down. I ask for this; add in a repeat until block that can terminate and move on as soon as the variable is met, and not at the end of the script. Thanks.

Hmmm... I'm a bit confused. Can you please explain clearer?

Re: Repeat until block that terminates immediatly
Ah, you guys are getting into some tricky computer science problems now. 
I don't know the answer to this - I'm pretty sure it's not a simple problem no matter how much computer science knowledge and experience one has.

Re: Repeat until block that terminates immediatly
The only way I can think of doing this alternating between a block and an if block with the condition, i.e.
<when green flag clicked>
<repeat until> something
<change{ var }by( 1
<if><not> something >>
something else, etc.
<end>
<end>

Re: Repeat until block that terminates immediatly
I know how manually do it, I had the idea for a special repeat block for it.
