The Say () for () Secs block is a Looks block and a Stack block. The block displays a speech bubble with the specified text for the sprite that runs it, which appears on the screen for the specified amount of seconds. This block is identical to the Think () for () Secs block, with the exception that this block gives a speech bubble, while the other gives a thought bubble
Example Uses
As this block displays dialogue, the block can be used whenever a conversation takes place. Another common use is when unpredictable text must be shown - it is an easy alternative to stamping characters on the screen.
Some common uses:
- A conversation
say [Knock knock!] for (2) secs say [Who's there?] for (2) secs say [Who.] for (2) secs say [Who who?] for (2) secs say [I did not know that you spoke owl!] for (5) secs
- A display for text
when I receive [display score v] say (join [Score: ](score)) for (3) secs
Workaround
- Main article: List of Block Workarounds
This block can be replicated with the following code:
say [Hello!] wait (amount) secs say []
Making the insert blank removes the speech bubble in the Say () block and Think () block, but still asks if you are using the Ask () and wait block.
