Scratch 3 block (SAY)

MinecraftM153

So.. i posted the text post, but i'd like to mention a whole new change to the “Say” block. Here's the block:

say [Hello!] in font [Arial] in size [26] in color [black] bubble [white] ::sound

Sorry if the block's too long.
It's like this: The sprite will have a speech bubble with an animation and you will choose the:

-Size
-Text color
-Font
-Speech bubble color

Later i'll share even more what's on my mind. Lets not get the Scratch Team doing too much work. The same applies to think blocks.
Also, the say blocks (and think blocks) will be moved to the “Sound” category.

I think that the say and think blocks should stay in the looks category.

say [Hello!] in font [Arial] in size [26] in color [black] bubble [white] :: looks

It would be cool to have more ways to say things but that seems very confusing to use and not needed that much hoever there could be…

set [Font v] to (0) ::looks

And it would have a dropdown with the options but I still am not sure if it''s needed

MinecraftM153

when i receive [THIS COMMENT v]
set font to [?CONFUUUUSIONNN?? v] ::looks
think [Now i'm really confused what to choose...] ::sound

No because that way you would have to have a block for each option the dropdown would have the things like
-Size
-Text color
-Font
-Speech bubble color

Maybe

set dialogue [size v] to (0) :: looks

?

Yes, just like that. However what would fonts do as you would have to know the name? And again what is this needed for?

What about the second input? “0” isn't a font name (as far as I know)

Just like

stop [all v]

changes to

stop [other scripts in sprite v]

See how stop all has no bump on the bottom, and stop other scripts in sprites will add a bump? If you select ‘Font’ “0” will change to the last used font in the project (Arial if none has been used yet).

No Support, it would be to confusing for new scratchers
+1, this would be very useful in say.. a game with more than 1 character (all of them, nearly.)

Hm, not bad.

So does the second input reset (unless there's a reporter in there) if a new item is selected in the dropdown?

Looks like it…

although, maybe it can save?

this instead, support

say [Hello!] in font [Arial v] in size (26) in color [#000000] bubble [#ffffff] ::sound

This (but in looks, not sounds), or

say [Hello!] in font [Arial v] in size (26) in color () bubble () ::looks

One note, this shouldn't be in sounds, because if you turned your volume all the way up, you wouldn't hear anything from the speech bubble.
Let's keep it in looks.

MinecraftM153

I want to also have an animation when the bubble comes in like size is small, then gets big, then gets to normal.

Support for

say [] in font [arial v]::looks

I feel that everything else is unneeded, and overcomplicates the block. It would also likely be hard for the ST to code.

Also not support for the size changing thing you made in a further post.
