Stop Sprite's Scripts
I know you can get around this by adding in a variable but that just means more blocks. What I'd like is a block under control that says "Stop *sprite's name* Scripts" - Something that would only stop the scripts of the sprite instead of either stopping just 1 script or all. I have a bunch of ideas for use with it but it gets to laggy adding in a if/else block just for that.

Re: Stop Sprite's Scripts
I've wanted to do that sort of thing in the past, too... it's not quite as simple as Jamie's solution, as that will only stop that one script -- not all of the scripts running in that sprite. And you can't add that Receive block to any of the others, because it can't be attached mid-script.
I think the only way to do it is by setting a variable, and having each script constantly checking its status, stopping when appropriate.

Re: Stop Sprite's Scripts
That would be cool but wouldn't that make the games a wee bit larger? I want the script but I also want to post the games too!

If you are so wary of size, a good project will never be made. 3 blocks will make a project change so little the size change will not be noticable by the end.

Re: Stop Sprite's Scripts
When I want a script stopped I have a variable block that says "set ____ to 1" and in the script I want stopped there's "If ____ = 1 stop script"

Re: Stop Sprite's Scripts
Ferret10's Idea should work. (I say should cuz I havn't tried it 
) But here is what I think it would look like:
