in development mode, you CAN pause the program by clicking on the color in this block: [blocks]<touching color[ [/blocks] or any block with a color picker (or even no color dropdown menu)

What's interesting is that the smalltalk command

Code:

self showInformDialog: 'paused' withText: 'click OK to continue'

when run will cause a popup window to appear on your screen. This pauses everything in the game until it's closed!

(note, the texts 'paused' and 'click OK to continue' can be replaced with anything.)

Could you add more then just OK? And could they broadcast something after they're clicked?

I like it!

Isn't that basically this?
[blocks]<forever>
<if>
<else>
<end>
<end>[/blocks]

EDIT: I hate the forum blocks.

I think that only works with Panther, for normal Scratch try this:

Code:

DialogBoxMorph inform: 'click OK to continue' title: 'paused'

Why can't people understand that is can NOT easily be done with blocks in 1.4!?!?!
Look at this. Just replace the 'pause' block with a script.

Interesting idea! I absolutely support.

I made it and it works.

try making the block!
blockspec:

Code:

('pause' #- #pause)

method:

Code:

pause
self showInformDialog: 'paused' withText: 'click OK to continue'

scimonster · 2011-01-06 13:19:14

I will repeat my question:

If that could happen then you could have a quit button or something.

pause would be sort of like wait, but wait only pauses that script but pause will pause all scripts, on all sprites.

[blocks]<wait( 1 )secsc>[/blocks] makes that script wait, pause (1) secs makes everything pause for 1 second

[blocks]<wait until>[/blocks] makes that script wait until the condition is fulfilled, pause until <> pauses everything until the condition is fulfilled
Yep! Pause would be like
[blocks]<wait until> <not>[/blocks]

Let me refine my idea and make it even better...
For the script that's running it, it acts as a wait, and while it's waiting, it pauses everything else.

And I know this is bumping it, but it is wanted by lots of people.

I see your point. Add me to supporters. And can I put this block in my mod?

LS97 · 2011-01-21 16:09:08

What about adapting the 'forever if' + 'repeat until' and add a nice checkbox next to them indicating whether the player should check for the boolean each block or at the beginning and at each iteration of the whole group?

smile Thats a great idea! I'll make a mock-up soon.

A very similar one: http://suggest.scratch.mit.edu/forums/6 … use-button

I agree. This is a very good idea smile But what section of blocks would this go in?

scimonster · 2011-02-01 08:44:54

probably control

Yes, but that's too easy. wink It wouldn't allow you to add button, like 'go back to menu'. Although I bet the scratch team will add that, along with other BYOB things. I would like it with an option to turn it off.

Here it is! Paint messed it up a little, but it's still a good mock-up. smile
