How to make say command words disappear in scratch?

Question

I'm working on my Week 0 assignment and I got my sprites to say stuff but the problem is I don't know how to make the stuff they say disappear after they've said it.

I've tried the hide piece under looks but it hides the sprite.

I tried stop script on the sprite under the control but this also does not give the desired effect.

Your input is greatly appreciated!

Thank You,

Answer 1

Maybe using a "say __ for _ seconds" block instead? That way, your 'say' will disappear on its own.

Answer 2

You can also use a "say" block but make it blank, that removes the speech bubble without having to rely on timing.
