Stop Detection

In some cases, it can be useful to have an action occur after the Stop Sign is pressed. Examples include giving a user a goodbye message, thumbnail fade-in effects, or logging off of a cloud project.

Scripts

The following scripts will be able to run a script after the stop sign is pressed.

Method 1

when gf clicked
forever
set [stop detector v] to ((timer)+(0.1))
end

when [timer v] > (stop detector)
if <(timer) > (stop detector)> then // Due to the beginning value of stop detector being 0, this is needed.
...
end
stop [this script v]

The first script constantly keeps the stop detector variable slightly greater than the timer. When the project is stopped, the script no longer works, so the timer becomes greater than the stop detector. This then runs the second script.

Method 2

when gf clicked
forever
reset timer

when [timer v] > (0.3) // The number input may be lowered for a shorter delay.
...

The first script keeps the timer constantly at 0. This script will end once the project is stopped, allowing the timer to continue. The second script waits for this continuation, thereby running the script.
