Block Basics: Reappearing Text
Block Basics: Reappearing Text
Hi Everyone!
Today, I am going to show you a simple script to help with reappearing text. Mostly it uses the ghost effect. The repeats are also a very important block to watch out for, that is one of the essentials. Here is the script:
when gf clicked forever wait [0.5] secs repeat [20] change [ghost v] effect by [5] // see the different between the 5 and -5? repeat [20] // This repeats the effect. change [ghost v] effect by [-5] wait [0.5] secsThe script is pretty basic, and if you are familiar with the ghost effect you are bound to work it out pretty easily.

Re: Block Basics: Reappearing Text
It looks like you've got a bit of a ScratchBlocks error there. Let me fix that. 
when gf clicked forever wait [0.5] secs repeat [20] change [ghost v] effect by [5] // see the different between the 5 and -5? end repeat [20] // This repeats the effect. change [ghost v] effect by [-5] wait [0.5] secsIs that more of what you had in mind?
Note to modifiers:
To get it to completely fade:
You can change the values of the repeat and ghost, as long as the product is 100. A higher repeat is faster, and lower is slower.
Or, you can make the product less than 100, so that it'll still be a drop visible.

YOU have a problem with them!
when gf clicked forever wait (0.5) secs repeat (20) change [ghost v] effect by (5) // see the different between the 5 and -5? end repeat (20) // This repeats the effect. change [ghost v] effect by (-5) wait (0.5) secsThere. The right input shapes.
