I need a script where an object keeps on doing something until he receives a broadcast. Is there any way to do that?

Depends...if when he receives it, everything stops, then you just need a script that stops all.

Besides that, you'll probably have to use a variable that gets set to a value when that event that would broadcast happens.

Well, what you would want is the fictional block.

Or something like this:

<when I receive[ something ]>
<set{ continue? }to( 1 )
<repeat until><( <{ continue? }> <=> 0 )>

Script

<end>

Then, to stop it, just set "continue?" to 0 instead of broadcasting "StopScript".

I've had the same trouble as you and figured out how to fix it. instead of using a broadcast, use a variable
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<repeat until><(<{ name of variable }><=>1
<move( 10 )steps>
<end>
<end>

and instead of telling it to broadcast now you need to tell it to always set your variable to 0 except when you want it to stop doing something
