Use MaxVisibleGraphemes, they were made specifically for this.

#4

If you payed attention, this uses the normal chat function which cannot use that.

#5

I am not making a gui for this, I’m using chat.

#6

Chat is a gui… what did you think chat was?

#7

It would be possible to translate the concepts we are providing into a text-based form which uses the chat feature.

#8

Chat is not as accessible as a normal gui. I’m using ChatService.

#9

Could you provide an example or script of sorts?

#10

You need to make a custom chat UI then.

#11

Did you not see the video? This is very much achievable.

#12

Its called Style. Make a Frame and change it to ChatGreen, ChatBlue, or ChatRed.

??? This has nothing to do with the post. Please post about the typewriter effect, I have the theme.

#14

It very much has something to do with the post, they mean that the gui that you assume is chat, is actually a gui with one of the Chat[color] styles

I already told you how to make the typewriter effect. That game does not use ChatService, it uses a custom gui with the theme. Don’t get so hostile, we’re trying to help you.

Alright, I will try to achieve this.

#17

What object has this style property?

#18

Frames, you’ll need to put a TextLabel inside the Frame for the text part.

I have achieved this effect! Thank you!
