There have been a few first/second/third/fourth-type posts on both the recent topics I have posted. I have decided to portal those to keep the topic organised, and to make it easier to find questions and information that people have to share with each other.
I can see that it might seem like a bit of fun 
but unfortunately leaving them there seemed to encourage more, which makes it harder for others to eventually scroll down and find questions/discussion on the actual topic. So I am going to explicitly discourage them, sorry.

Ok. I have tried but I still don’t know how to do it. @t1_hopscotch are you able to show me a demonstration of the comment block (whatever block u are talking about? Thanks. @MuteChristmasTree97

What do you think is meant to work.
It doesn’t make the character talk.
It just describes what the code does

Mostly for organizing and coding tutorials.
An example in other languages
function()
do something # This would be a comment
end

the comment block lets you comment your code so you and others can understand it
it is particularly useful when writing complex code—you could add a comment saying “calculates player x position” if your x position calculation looks ugly
another use is for when you don’t open a project for 3 months
without the comments you probably wouldn’t understand much of your previous code
but with comments, you can understand your code in a few minutes instead of a few hours
comments are ignored when the project is run, they are just there for viewing while you code
does that make it more clear?

I’m sorry,
I’ve explained it to the fullest of my abilities.
I won’t be able to explain it further now.
Thanks

Also:
Remember to think of how you talk, your tone could sound mean to some people. You could use Tone Indicators.

all comments you add are useless if you’re trying to add something to your game
they just let you describe your code
is that a better definition? if not, which part is unclear?

I see that……

Comments are annotations that are primarily used to describe how a function or part of code works. It is ignored (doesn’t do anything) when the code is ran.
They are the only block in Hopscotch that doesn’t do anything, in fact.
