Snake Like UI Text

[ExcessEnergy]

I made a post a while back that splits text up into individual text labels, using GetTextSize and some basic math.

How do you make shaky text?

Unfortunately, with the current limitations of TextLabels, you would have to give each character it’s own TextLabel, as mentioned in this preexisting post. To create the shake effect, you could use Random( specifically Random:NextNumber() ), or math.random to offset the positions of each of the character TextLabels at a very fast speed. Example of how this can be done: local text = "scary undertale text" TextFont = Enum.Font.Arcade TextFontSize = 30 TextSize = game.TextService:GetTextSize(te…

That post demonstrates how to make the text shake, but you could easily make it snake up and down by using TweenService, and the Quad, Quint, or Quart EasingStyle.

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	1, -- Time
	Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, -- EasingStyle
	Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, -- EasingDirection
	-1, -- RepeatCount (when less than zero the tween will loop indefinitely)
	true, -- Reverses (tween will reverse once reaching it's goal)
	0 -- DelayTime
)
for _, TextLabel in pairs(TextLabels) do

local tween1 = TweenService:Create(TextLabel, tweenInfo, {Position = TextLabel.Position + UDim2.new(0,0,0,50)}) --50 is amount of pixels to snake up
tween1:Play()
wait(0.5)
end
