griffpatch's text tutorial working weirdly [FIXED]

So in griffpatch's tutorial where it tells you how to make a text engine, The code only writes one letter at a time; it deletes the ones before it. This only happens after I stop all the other sprite's code, it works fine before I stop it. I've tried layering, but it doesn't fix the issue. Can someone help me with this?

If you post the project with unfinished script or create it in scratch blocks in a new post I could help you.
The reason I need this is because otherwise I won't be able to find the error in the code.

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1363505005 here! go to the “text” sprite. It only stops working when the time is zero, so after the text at the begininng of the game finishes, set time to 1 to quickly check. if you could tell me what's wrong, that would be great!

In your “text3” sprite you've got a “broadcast clear letters” in a forever loop. That might have something to do with it…
