Help with "Say", and how to stop it.

melon404

I'm having a silly problem that must have a simple solution but I fear I'm being silly.

When you have told a Sprite to say something, how do you make it stop saying it (apart from by using the Say xxx for x Secs block)?

I have a sprite which says various things and keeps saying them until another Sprite is clicked causing the backdrop to change.

I'm using:
When Backdrop switches
Stop other scripts in Sprite
to stop it saying things but the last thing it says remains showing. How do I make it go away?

Thanks in advance.

when green flag clicked
say [whatever you want it to say]
wait until <(variable) = [1 ]>
stop [this script v]


when event [ v] happens
set (variable) to [1 ]

when backdrop switches to [ v]
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
say [ ]

To stop saying something, you leave it blank

Thanks, Blue Monkey.
I thought that would just produce an empty speech bubble but it doesn't. Should have tried it.
But now I'm back on track.

Ok. Really. People. Stop with the necroposting. This is a thread from four years ago. At that point, you should make a new post asking for help.
Okay, I understand that this wasn't only you. You've only done it once. However, after having to tell people to stop necroposting ten times a day is sort of annoying. Don't worry, not your fault.

But please, next time, create a new topic. Anyways, even though you should've made a new thread, I'll help with your problem. Make sure that you deleted everything in the block, so there isn't just a space. You could also using ‘say (n) for (0) seconds’ block. Hope that cleared things up a bit.

Hello! Us at Help With Scripts appreciate you trying to help, we really do. But you just necroposted, the act of posting on a really old and/or resolved topic, which brings it to the front page. Please do not do this in the future! Thanks!
