Script:

	local message = "Oh, the mortal I've been hearing about!"
	local TextLabel = script.Parent.BillboardGui.MainFrame.Dialogue1
	for i = 1, #message do
		TextLabel.Text = string.sub(message, 1, i)
		script.Parent.merp:Play()
		wait(3)
		local message = "Ooohoohooo!"
		local TextLabel = script.Parent.BillboardGui.MainFrame.Dialogue1
		for i = 1, #message do
			script.Parent.merp:Play()
			TextLabel.Text = string.sub(message, 1, i)
	
			wait(3)
			local message = "So you've managed to crawl into my lair, hm?"
			local TextLabel = script.Parent.BillboardGui.MainFrame.Dialogue1
			for i = 1, #message do
				wait(2)
				script.Parent.merp:Play()
				TextLabel.Text = string.sub(message, 1, i)
				end

and so on, but that isn’t important.
I was told to use this table instead of using every seperate letter.
Problem: This is very inefficient, and sends one letter every ~5 seconds.
Also, sometimes switches to the other textlabels for some reason. Lil’ help here?
Also: does not continue the message after letter 1.

What are you trying to do then?

#3

Make the character in question send the entire message letter by letter, like a typewriting effect, every letter per 0.5 seconds.
“merp” sound plays for every letter sent

#4

And by “letter by letter”, I don’t mean changing the texltabel to random letters. I mean putting the letter togethers like “h” “he” “hel” “hell” “hello” to make a sentence.

#5

do you want it to be sentence after sentence or a random sentence each time?

#6

sentence after sentence

#8

Yeah, but every 0.5 seconds

#9

Wdym? Each letter every .5 seconds?

#10

Yup

local textlabel = script.Parent

local function writetext(object,text,length)
	for i = 1, #text do
		object.Text = string.sub(text,1,i)
		wait(length)
	end
end


writetext(textlabel,"HELLO",0.5)

This is gonna be painful to rewrite. Is there any way to make it so I don’t have to rewrite too much? Sorry.

#13

If not, I’ll do it though.

#14

you want it to auto do it for you?

#15

Yeah. Would love to, cause take a look at this:

	local message = "Oh, the mortal I've been hearing about!"
	local TextLabel = script.Parent.BillboardGui.MainFrame.Dialogue1
	for i = 1, #message do
		TextLabel.Text = string.sub(message, 1, i)
		script.Parent.merp:Play()
		wait(3)
		local message = "Ooohoohooo!"
		local TextLabel = script.Parent.BillboardGui.MainFrame.Dialogue1
		for i = 1, #message do
			script.Parent.merp:Play()
			TextLabel.Text = string.sub(message, 1, i)
	
			wait(3)
			local message = "So you've managed to crawl into my lair, hm?"
			local TextLabel = script.Parent.BillboardGui.MainFrame.Dialogue1

I am not rewriting all of that, unless I really have to lol

#17

This is designed for spawning into the game but should work with a few changes.

while true do
	for i = 1, #msgs do
		spawn(function()
			while script.Parent.TextTransparency >= 0 and wait() do
				script.Parent.TextTransparency = script.Parent.TextTransparency - 0.1
			end
		end)
		for j = 1, #msgs[i] do
			script.Parent.Text = string.sub(msgs[i], 1, j)
			wait()
		end
		wait(10)
		while script.Parent.TextTransparency <= 1 and wait() do
			script.Parent.TextTransparency = script.Parent.TextTransparency + 0.1
		end
	end
end
#18

Would quite enjoy if you could project these changes into text

#19

I’m not a scripter at all, I won’t know what to change

#20

Well the video’s there. So any experienced coders should be able to use that and provide a working script for you,
