I guess you would have to use rich text to randomise the size of the letter? Or just use a ton of text labels.

Then you would probably have to have a table of characters you inserted, and pick a random one and insert that into the text label, and I guess do that forever.

You can also add additional factors like italics and bold, you can also make these be picked at random.

Thats probably it though.

Just random characters and symbols.
(See the example image I’m talking about)

I looked at it? Didn’t I describe how you can make it? Just loop through a table of characters you want, and pick a one at random.

Yeah, i need it for that effect.

So, you want me to script it? I told you how you can make it, can’t you script it yourself?

Also this should be moved into #help-and-feedback:scripting-support

Oh yea, thank you. alright i’ll do this-

You know on the #help-and-feedback:scripting-support template it specifically says:

I can help you script it, not make the whole thing for you, maybe you can find something similar on #resources:community-resources but otherwise you will have to make your own.

If you need help with scripting, return back to the forum, and add another comment, ill try to help you ig.

You can use utf8.char() to turn random numbers into letters/symbols.
Look for ASCII/UTF8 character tables online to find which numbers represent which symbols.
