Typewriter bubble chat effect isnt working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I have created a script that is supposed to type out the text in the bubblechat text box when you send a message. That isnt happening. Everything else the script does works fine, but instead of typing out the message, it just puts a delay before the bubblechat appears, and the message appears all at once like it normally would, as if the script isnt doing anything. The script itself isnt running into any errors.

local TextChatService = game:GetService(“TextChatService”)
local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)

TextChatService.OnBubbleAdded = function(message: TextChatMessage, adornee: Instance)
if message.TextSource then
local bubbleProperties = Instance.new(“BubbleChatMessageProperties”)
bubbleProperties.BackgroundTransparency = 0
bubbleProperties.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0,0,0)
–bubbleProperties.TextSize = 20
bubbleProperties.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
bubbleProperties.TailVisible = true

  local sounds = {}

  for i, child in pairs(script:GetChildren()) do
  	if child:IsA("Sound") then
  		table.insert(sounds, child)
  	end
  end



  local function typeText(text)
  	print(text)
  	for i = 1, #text do
  	
  		bubbleProperties.Text = string.sub(text, 1, i)
  		sounds[math.random(1, #sounds)]:Play()
  		wait()
  	end
  end


  typeText(message.Text)

  return bubbleProperties

end
end

Any help with this would be appreciated and thank you for your time!

IIRC there’s no way to change the text of messages once they’ve been displayed. What you’ll have to do to achieve the effect you’re after is to implement a custom bubble chat system.
