I am new to scratch and am trying to figure out how to change the position of a characters text block. I don't have a clue what to do so I came here first. What im doing is writing a little guidebook on platforming for beginers and I have a character whose text is blocking my writing! If anyone can help please do. I will change the name to “Character Text Blockage Help” or something along those lines when I have an answer. Thx

p.s. Please politely note any typos in your comment. I am HORRIBLE at spelling things.

So, what do you mean by “character's text block”?

I assume you are talking about the sprites “say” block which brings a speech bubble over their head. Where your sprite is the text bubble will appear. So to move the text bubble you'll have to move the sprite.

If that sprite has to stay as the focus as the narrator or something you could make a second sprite (or a clone) handle all the speaking and set that sprites (or clone) ghost effect to 100. Then it will be invisible but its text bubble will not.

That is, if that is what you were asking for help with.

Thanks guys!

Yah, I noticed this now, but I made an invisible copy and I kept my character as is and I still had the issue. What would happen is my visible character would say it and my invisible character wouldn't. Maybe its because my character was “hidden”?

Share project if you can so we can look.

I don't want to share it until its finished, but basically its a “hidden” character as my second copy and my normal copy says the text, not the “hidden” copy.

You have to be used to sharing projects to get help here, but instead of hide, use;

set [ghost v] effect to (100)

Thank you duckboycool for the help! If anyone needs help with text blocks then they can use this forum now for help with it.
