I want to have a script that runs constantly, except when you press a button it will briefly turn off, then when I want, turn on again and keep running forever. Is this possible? If so, how?
Additionally, is there a block that works similarly to the "break" command in python? Like, when it is activated, it stops that script?
use wait () secs or pause all
After I pause all, can I resume all?
stop [this script V]
or you might want to look into the THROW and CATCH blocks from the "Iteration, Composition" library.
Not without user intervention.
dang, ty anyway
Could
when $greenflag clicked
forever{
... //insert script here
if <key [key V] pressed?>{
wait until <> //What you want to wait for
or, optionallty
wait () seconds
}
}work for you?
Just a button press.
How would you expect that to work without user intervention? If you've paused all scripts, that includes the script that calls PAUSE ALL. You're not the first person to ask for this, but I've never understood how it's supposed to work.
MQTT block can receive the data , "When key pressed" works also when paused.
Generic "When" or "When changed" also SHOULD work.
yes, @mark4sisb used the when < custom variant to make a when $pause clicked :: control hat block, so the when [] changed :: control hat definitely should work.
Hmm. WHEN KEY PRESSED fires when the user does something, so it's unproblematic. But I'm not convinced that automatic un-pausing should be possible, since pausing has to do with debugging, and when my program is paused, I don't want it to start up all by itself.
