What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to achieve an effect where each letter is created and gets tweened 20 pixels off and with no transparency. While I’ve had a surprising amount of success with this, there’s a very odd problem occuring whenever it experiences letters such as M or N. -
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
All letters but M and N have an accurate horizontal text bound.
As you can see, the “I” in “IN” is completely obstructed by the letter N as well as spacing between each “M” is inaccurate except when its next to the same letter. -
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I’ve tried using the TextLabel’s TextBound property instead ofTextService:GetTextSizewith no luck. No post on the DevForum demonstrates this issue either.
Here’s the code for the text tweener function:
local textOffset, initialOffset = 0, 20
local function TweenText(parent, text, properties)
local label = Instance.new("TextLabel")
for i, v in next, properties do
pcall(function()
label[i] = v
end)
end
label.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.5, 0.5)
label.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 1, 0)
label.Text = ""
label.TextStrokeTransparency = 1
label.TextTransparency = 1
local currPos = -(GetTextBounds(text, label.TextSize, label.Font).X + (textOffset/2)*#text)/2
for i = 1, #text do
local labelClone = label:Clone()
labelClone.Parent = parent
labelClone.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, currPos - initialOffset, 0.5, 0)
labelClone.Text = text:sub(i, i)
currPos += labelClone.TextBounds.X
TweenTransparency(labelClone, 0); Tween(labelClone, TweenInfo.new(TweenSettings.Time, TweenSettings.Style, TweenSettings.Direction), {Position = labelClone.Position + UDim2.new(0, initialOffset, 0, 0)})
wait(0.075)
end
end
