Wow well uh this is embarrassing. I changed it to an “Editable Text” instead of just a regular Text block and now it seems to work, never noticed that was an option nor did the video I watched mention that. Video only came out 6 months ago so I’m not sure if its an update thing, a me thing, or what. But yeah I guess I fixed it 
. I’m gonna keep this open for a second in case dZh0 or anyone else can shed some light on why this is. Thank you so much
