Stop ()
Category	Control
Type	Cap/Stack (changes depending on argument)
Introduced in	2.0

The Stop () block is a Control block. Depending on the argument, it is either a Cap block (all or this script), or a Stack block (other scripts in sprite). It is the only block that changes its shape. It was added in Scratch 2.0 to replace the Stop All and Stop Script blocks, and also to add the functionality of stopping other scripts in a sprite.

Example Uses

Stopping other scripts in the sprite, as a stack block.

This block can be used in some of the following ways:

• Ending a project once all the actions are carried out

when I receive [end v]
say [That's all folks!] for (2) secs
stop [all v]

• Stopping a project

— when all lives are lost, for example

when gf clicked
forever
if < (lives) = [0] > then
stop [all v]
end

• Disabling controls

when gf clicked
forever
if << key [up arrow v] pressed? > and < (jumping) = [0] > > then
set [delta-y v] to [5]
end
if < (level) = [7] > then
stop [this script v]
end

• Disabling a sprite

when gf clicked
forever
if < (x position) > [100] > then
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
stop [this script v]
end

• Only performing an action once, and then stopping

when gf clicked
set [x v] to [0]
forever
if < (x) = [1] > then
stop [this script v]
end
move (10) steps
if on edge, bounce
change [x v] by (1)
