So i have been looking for many tutorial's but still haven't found a good way to do this. it's when the sentence has and animation affect like this:
L
Lo
Lol
except all in one line again, like this: L then 0.10 seconds later it goes Lo then 0.10 seconds later it goes lol.
Get it? so if you are able to please inform me of any answer to this i am willing to try it out.



So forum thingy's come in handy and get views very quickly so i'm begging you if you DO know how to do this and i use you're code full credit will go t you.

You could use this method to do it,
https://turbowarp.org/576645659
The way it works is by adding the letters to a list and then saying all the items of the list combined
I hope it helps.

define Say (TEXT)
set [i v] to (1)
delete all of [Letters v]
repeat (length of (TEXT))
add (letter (i) of (TEXT)) to [Letters v]
if <not<  (item (i) of [Letters v]) = () >> then
play sound [Pop v]
end
change [i v] by (1)
say (Letters)
wait (0.075) secs
end

when green flag clicked
set [text v] to [l]
wait (0.10) secs
set [text v] to [l]
wait (0.10) secs
set [text v] to [l]
wait (0.10) secs

This project I made has a text engine in it - accessible under the “define `display (text0`” block in the sprite named “PTE” IIRC.

There are several methods to how you can create a letter by letter text animation, although i am not sure if you are looking for clone/pen version? Or just say version?

Clone Version

*In order for the clone version to work you must have a sprite with costume a to z and capital letters from A to Z. Numbers, and some other characters.

Make sure to set the main text sprite hidden.

define string (text)
broadcast [clear] //remove any existing clones (to avoid stack)
go to x: (0) y: (0) //where we start our printing 
set [ii] to [1] //controls what letter are we printing out 
repeat (length of (text)) //length of the input 
switch costume to (letter (ii) of (text)) //change the costume to current letter
change [ii] by (1) //moving to the next letter
create clone of [myself] //printing 
move (10) steps //this would depend on the size and distance of the letter
end

Starting clone event:

when I start as a clone
show

Broadcast:

when I receive [clear]
delete this clone // this will remove clones (to avoid stack)

You can use the pen tool method, however clone method can give you more control with text effect, and they won't be overlapped by any sprites, as pen would always be behind any sprites.

Say version

Say version is another method of letter by letter script via say block.

say [hello]

This will just print out a quick hello. To make it letter by letter we use the same method.

define string (text)
set [ii] to [1]
set [output] to [] //blank space
repeat (length of (text)) //length of the input 
set [output] to (join (output) (letter (ii) of (text))) //add in the previous text with new letter 
say (output) //says the final result 
change [ii] by (1) //changes to the next letter
end

To test this all, just type inside the blank spot of our custom blocks and the script will be activated.

These are two simple scripts, of-course you could always make the text system more advanced. There are other methods to create a text system, but I'll be sharing the ones that I use.

I hope this helps out.
