How to make lists talk...?

davidvaz1

Hello fellow Scratchers. Is there a way to make lists talk? (Okay, I know this sounds silly, but it can be dead useful in a few projects of mine.)
If there is, please tell me.
If not, feel free to mention an alternative
Thanks!

when green flag clicked
if <key [space] pressed?> then 
make list (my list :: list) say [Hello! My name is 'My List'!]
else
make list (my list :: list) say [Good Bye!]
end

The above is just an example…

Check out this project! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/553144251/

when green flag clicked :: #FFBF00
forever :: #FFA500
NoQuat Anti-Kumquat <RUN :: operators> :: #0A00FF// This is my new anti-kumquat (like anti-virus), for protection against evil kumquats!
end

This?

say (item (thing) of [list v] :: list) for (2) secs

Please consider checking out my suggestion ->here<-.

Hello, I’m Wei-ern_520, and I will randomly appear in your room! Just kidding, I make rpg engines.

I have no custom pfp, not because I don't know how to make one. I just don't know what suits me best, and I'm just too lazy and prefer sticking to simplicity. Or at least so. I also have the need to trip people with my profile picture. Just wait till it happens.

Fun fact: you don't clean your mess, you move it somewhere else. (Source: somewhere)

Also: Ooh, look at the cheese!

Sound nice, but a list should say it.
For example:
Activity:
List “my list” said “hello”

The sprite should not say it

Why? Also how would it say it? Shouldn’t this go to suggestions then?

Yes, maybe

Or you can just report for it to be moved.

But the question ‘why’ is still important. Create a ghosted sprite that sits in the same area as the list if you want the speech bubble to appear to come from the list.

calster1800

uh…

You can draw a speech bubble, then write down what you want to say inside, place it on top of the list, and show when you want it to say something. Then to stop saying what the list is supposed to say, you can make a code where the speech bubble will hide after a certain number of seconds. Also, I dont recommend hand drawing the speech bubble, you can use scratch tools like fill etc.

Hope this helped

say [Hi! I'm calster.] for (2) secs
