1 Script 1 Sprite Wait Until?
How can I make a sort of "wait until" without using the wait until block? I'm not going to use the wait until block because I don't want the entire script to stop while one section is waiting.

It depends on what you're trying to do... could you maybe upload it so I could see?

One script in Scratch is equivalent to one thread. Only one block from that script can be executing at a time, so it is therefore impossible to have part of a script wait while other parts execute!

Use timer, reset it and check if it's more than something.

I mean more of an "if inside an if". Unfortunately, the "if's" I need are opposites- if mouse clicked, and then if mouse not clicked inside that. Tried it, and it didn't work.

So you're waiting for a condition to happen but you want it to continue executing something until it does happen:
Code:
...
loop_check = 0
repeat until <loop_check = 1>:
//Do some other stuff here
if <condition to check>:
loop_check = 1
loop_check = 0
//Continue doing some other stuff...This would work well if you replaced <condition to check> with <mouse down?> or something.

That could possibly work, though I may have tried it already. I'll test it, thanks

@12three: I'll probably end up posting it if the above does not work.
