If you find yourself frequently writing scripts that freeze because you forgot to add a condition to stop the script if it took too long, then you can use this script:
Code:

debug.sethook(function(event, line)
  if inMainThread() and isKeyPressed(VK_MENU) and isKeyPressed(VK_PAUSE) then
    error("Killing lua scripts")
  end
end, "crl")


this will make alt+pause terminate all scripts that are running in the main GUI thread

2 drawbacks:
1: it will make lua code execute a little slower so do keep that in mind
2: if you use breakpoints in lua to debug your code, this code will stop functioning (currently it overrides the hook and nils on on resume, may change in the future)

I keep doing infinite loops with while and repeat, so this is useful to me, thanks!
