An character talking and animations at the same time.

Theprogramerguylol

My idea is a new block,it will be in the looks option,what it will do is that it will give you an option to make a character say something,but it will also give you another option,it will be that the sprite will change to one custome and go back to the same costume,and it will display on how many seconds should it change.

It will be usefull to save more time than doing the message thing and then make the character talk.

say [hi] switch costume to [1] wait (0.1) secs switch costume to [ 2] repeat by (4)

Thats bassicly my idea,if theres something you dont understand,i guess ill have to explain it again? Idk.

no support because you could just use those blocks

say [hi]
repeat (4)
switch costume to (1)
wait (0.1) secs
switch costume to (2)

also the name is way too long

oh god am I becoming an ATer

when I am deleted ::hat control
ask (join (join [what the hell does ] (when I am deleted ::hat control)) [ do?]) and wait
create clone of [Stage v]
delete this project ::control
stop [eh, a few] sounds ::sound

casually taking over the forums:

this is what happens when school goes back in the US, scratch has like no activity

when I am deleted ::hat control

create clone of [Stage v]
delete this project ::control
stop [eh, a few] sounds ::sound

This actually makes more sence.

Altho maybe ill be wrong,but i think the block i was mentioning could be alot faster,but youre still correct.

Hey there!

I think your idea is definitely interesting! However, I think it might be a bit confusing for someone who is just starting out with Scratch for the first time.

You can also use a custom block and create a workaround:

define Say (text) switch costume to (costume 1) wait (time) switch costume to (costume 2) repeat (repeat number)
say (text)
repeat (repeat number)
switch costume to (costume 1)
wait (time) secs
switch costume to (costume 2)
end

This way you can use the custom block the same way as the block you suggested!

I hope this helped!

THIS MAKES EVEN MORE SENCE,also thank you for the information

i mean… it would be nice to have some talking costumes for all of the characters in scratch. giga and some others already have walking ones, so why not talking?
