I wish to clarify the behaviour of this command by saying that the breakTo command will literally break the scope in which it has been placed, and continue reading whatever is after and outside of that scope.
Example:
scopeName "something"; if true then { breakTo "something"; _v = 0; // this line will be skipped }; _a = 0; // this is where script execution will jump to.
