i couldn’t zoom out all the way to get the entire block but this is the main part.
the problem is the last 3 function ones with text in it. it works with all the other ones above it just not those three. even the code not function ones work after it but the text just don’t come out!
that’s all i have to say please help!
if you want to dig deeper into the code here’s the link. please be paitient when trying to get in, it might take long it might not. and if your looking for the level especially level 9. go to the very bottom.
i set it to level one (there is not function block for level 1) but you can play through it and if you don’t want to restart and play every level again, then you can just a function block at the bottom the “on start” block to skip levels.

Ah, I should have seen it in your earlier screenshot. You’ve set the duration for the scientist to talk as 1 millisecond. It does not even appear because its not even on the screen for one frame.
Just change each of these to something like 2500 milliseconds and it should work!
Fun game btw. I see great potential. And for a name, how about “Emberscout”

Emberscout it is!
and plus… i set it to 1 milisecond so i can skip it and start other stuff after it and just to check i changed it back to 2500 miliseconds but it still doesn’t work! 
if i can’t figure it out this and next week. then ill just make him mute. i can change him however i like anyway because i haven’t made a proper story anyway.

You also have the positioning of the text off, I fixed it and made some changes to your function to make the text more readable. With the default screen size its better to use a smaller font. Here you go:

Yooo brooo, when you add the text it works but when i add more, it doesn’t work! is there something wrong on my end?
as you see i copied what u did and changed the text but only that part doesnt work but the rest does. i think the text doesn’t like me. is there a problem? could you put the text in for me? also how do i make it show that scientist 1 is talking? like y’know it says (scientist 1) under the text or something. pls and thankyou.
