4. Make your second character respond

You only want your second character to respond when it knows the first one is done talking. So, the first character will have to broadcast that it's done talking, and your second one needs to listen to that broadcast.

Your goal

Hint: show steps

Steps

1. Click on your first character

Go back to your first character's code. We have to give it one last important block. 

2. Add a "broadcast ____" block

This is a yellow "events" block. 

3. Change the message

Make a new message that's more specific than just "message1" - that will become confusing later, and it's better to stay organized! 

Because the first character in the example says "Hi there!" as its first line, the broadcast message could be something like, "Said Hi There." 

4. Click on your second character

Now you can move to your second character's code.

5. Add a "when I receive ___" block and change it to your first broadcast message

This is a yellow "events" block. 

Add this block somewhere in your second character's code, and click on the block to change it to the message you just wrote. 

In the last example, the message being broadcasted was "Said Hi There." 

6. Add a "say ___ for 2 seconds" block

Add this purple "looks" block below the yellow block. Change the text to be the next line in your story!
