This command can not be used to re-execute scopes in which command is inside of. Example:
<code>scopeName "whatever";
if true then {
  breakTo "whatever"
};
</code>
The example above will not make the engine jump back to line 1 and re-execute the 2nd line. Instead, it will just jump across line 2 to line 5 if it [ line 5 ] exists.

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.
