You would have to have a wait block or it would go down at the frames per second time causing it be a lot faster.

Please do not insert that message into the discussion. You are spamming the discussion and posting irrelevant things. If I cannot spam, you can't either, and I was just testing out the quote button. Be slow to anger, man.

For the first quote, “what does the quote button do?” you should have put it in the questions about scratch forum. Also, I'm just trying to help the person who said the sound block that it's not okay to spam. I'm just trying to help both of you know how the forums are used.
