        ...I think he means to stop working.

          yup.

          if frame==0 then setVar("foo",1);elsif frame==100 then setVar("foo",0);end;
          

          What it means: if frame is at 0, then set the variable "foo" to 1. if the frame is at 100, then get the variable "foo", and set it to 0. End.
          fails at 100.skp
          NOTE: the script can be put in the onTick box of any object.

            I need to know how to get a controlled script to fail, like a car out of gas

              Somewhere give it a full tank.

              setVar("gas",100) if frame==0
              

              In the motor accel

              (getVar("gas")<0? 0;1)*whatevermotorstrength;
              

              Somewhere consume the gas

              if(key("up")>0);g=getVar("gas");setVar("gas",g-1);end

                The example wasn't what i wanted an example for. i need a thruster on a plane to not function regardless of control inputs.

                    ...my first example? all you have to do is type getVar("foo")* before each value. Here's something you may find familiar, with this technique in use πŸ˜‰
                    Dies completely (except bombs) after frame 500.

                    By the way, C.Phillips, mind explaning that script? I wouldn't mind figuring out how it works πŸ˜‰ What's g?
                    ...all I can get so far is that gas is 100, if gas is smaller than 0, then the motor stops, and when up is pressed, g is equal to gas, which is equal to one less than g, thus lowering the value by 1 each frame up is>0 (pressed). But can you just use a letter as a variable? It doesn' seem to work for me...

                        Yes "g" is a temporary variable. It could have been "gas" or (almost) anything. I tested the code and it seems to work as expected. How does it not work for you?
