How to do typewriter text!

JebKeb

clickityclack…Doesn't it sound awesome? Well, we can get you a similar effect here, WITHOUT the sound.

define say (say)

This is our definition block.

(letterNumber)
(letter)
(word)

These 3 variables are necessary.

define say (say)
set [letterNumber v] to [0]
set [letter v] to []
set [word v] to []

We have now cleared the blocks. Finally, we will get the main bit done.

define say (say)
set [letterNumber v] to [0]
set [letter v] to []
set [word v] to []
repeat until <((letterNumber) - [1]) = (length of (say))>
change [letterNumber v] by [1]
set [letter v] to (letter (letterNumber) of (say))
set [word v] to (join (word) (letter))
say (join (word) (letter))
end

It works, so have fun!

There are lots of tutorials on this forum page. They do help and are useful so I'm fine with them.

Yes, we don't want to discourage Scratchers from making tutorials - and this is the best place on the forums for them.

A better place to put them is on the Scratch Wiki, since it is really set up for knowledge preservation. You might want to contact the Wiki and see adding your tutorial there

I had a request but it never got noticed. I think the admin that was dealing with it went on holidays - he said.

You can always add a typewriter sound.
Also,

define type [text]
set [i v] to [1]
set [letter v] to [ ]
repeat (length of (text))
    
set [letter v] to (letter (i) of (text))
change [i v] by (1)
end

I didn't add the word var, but it's the same thing.

define Say (text)
set [Text v] to [ ]
set [letter v] to [0]
repeat (length of (text))
change [letter v] by (1)
set [Text v] to (join (Text)(letter (letter) of (text)))
say (Text)
end
say (Text) for (0) secs

is how it should be done; will work perfectly and doesn't have any extra scripts.
