Okay say i have a variable called killing that equals 0 and i want my script to stop at that point and that start running again when the variable equals 1. Any suggestions on how i could do it?

You could use an #UNTIL loop to keep the loop running until killing = 0. To get you back into the loop, have a separate trigger set killing to 1 so that the next time your other trigger or whatever is fired it will jump into the loop.

The only other way to do what you want will be to simply use an infinite loop (ie, #UNTIL with a condition that never changes) that contains all your original code in an #IF check. I don't recommend this, since it will always be active and could interfere with other scripts or even just waste your memory.

This would depend on what your script is and how it is built. Generally scripts either issue a command immediately to start or await some text to respond to. If your script issue a command at the start of its activities then simply issue that command at the same place that sets killing back to 1. You would also add an #IF check for killing=0 at the point, in the script, that reissues that command. For scripts that respond to a given series of text simply enclose the first response of the loop in the appropiate #IF check.
