You know these story games, where the dialogue has a typewriter animation? Or these horror games with objectives with the effect too? Well, today I will teach you to do just that.
Requirements
- An object with a .Text property.
- At least some scripting knowledge
Tutorial
Create a LocalScript under the object you selected. Let's go and create a function with these parameters:local function typewrite(speed, text)
end
Now that we made this function, there is no way to create this effect with TweenService, so we will need a for loop.
We will need to figure out how many letters the string has, so let’s use string.len()!
local function typewrite(speed, text)
local length = string.len(text)
for i = 1, length, 1 do
end
end
Now that we have the length, how will we make the effect? Good question. Because that’s where string.sub() comes in! We get a substring that starts from the second argument to the third argument!
local function typewrite(speed, text)
local length = string.len(text)
for i = 1, length, 1 do
script.Parent.Text = string.sub(text, 1, i)
task.wait(speed)
end
end
Call the function, and see what happens!
Here’s what it looks like with a speed of 0.1.
