I have all the scripts for making something talk for when I type something, but how do you make a

 that has no speech bubble, only bottom bar? :/

ask [] and wait

I am confused. It seems like you just answered your own question.

That looked weird. How do you make a ask without speech bubble, only bottom bar?

Use the

ask [] and wait

block, like you posted in your first comment.

But how do you make it so there is no speech bubble?

It is impossible.

Erm, perhaps not.

Try using ask with an empty string.

Maybe that's what Iri-O meant - you effectively answered your own question.

That'll probably work.

ask [Whatever question you want?] and wait

No speech bubble, just the bottom bar, like I do at the beginning of this game. That's all it takes.

If your sprite is visible then “ask and wait” will show a speech bubble. If your sprite is hidden then it will put the “ask” text into the bottom bar.

In other words, if you don't want a speech bubble**, you need to make a hidden sprite/clone do the asking…

(** but you do still want some text)

But you can still use ask with no text to get no speech bubble even with a visible sprite.

Yes, that's right - after “if you don't want a speech bubble” I should've added the qualifier “but you do still want some text”.
(Added it now! )

I would try asking in the background, then the ask thing goes to the box

A nice solution which allows you to still ask the question but without the speech bubble. Depends on whether or not you actually want to ask a question but if you don't want to do that how does the user know what they're putting in?

If you wish to make it to where it looks as if the same sprite is asking the question (and is still there), do this:

hide
ask [whateveruwanthere] and wait
show

Have that on your main sprite. Now, make a clone of the sprite and have it to where when a broadcast is sent (right before the question) they show up, and hide when another one is sent (when the question has been answered). This is what the entire thing will look like, with the main sprite being the first one:

when green flag clicked
broadcast [other guy now! v]
hide
ask [whatever] and wait
broadcast [show again! v]


when I receive [show again! v]
show

when green flag clicked
hide


when I receive [other guy now! v]
show


when I receive [show again! v]
hide

I think I did that right…

when green flag clicked
broadcast [other guy now! v]
hide
ask [whatever] and wait
broadcast [show again! v]


when I receive [show again! v]
show

The decoy:

when green flag clicked
hide


when I receive [other guy now! v]
show


when I receive [show again! v]
hide

I think I did that right…

This is what it was supposed to be like.
