Is it possible to insert a wait function while the typewriter function is running?

Search for “advanced fall in place animation” in Google and you will see a devforum post, it will explain everything on how to do it, it will tell you about a module BTW, you will edit a small part of it.

After searching for a long time I’ve actually found the module that most people use to create their dialogue systems

-Rich Text Markup (Credits to Defaultio)

I’d like to do something like this:

local text = "your text here!"
local textLabel = "" -- put your textlabel here
for i = 1, #text do
		textLabel.Text = string.sub(text, 1, i)
		if string.sub(text,i,i) == "!" or string.sub(text,i,i) == "?" or string.sub(text,i,i) == "." then
			task.wait(1)
		else
			task.wait(0.05)
		end
	end

I’ve managed to do a similar effect a while ago. For it to work properly, you shouldn’t be using the Text property but MaxVisibleGrapeheme instead.

Here’s the function I used:

function module.DisplayText(Content: string, Choices)
	ContentTextLabel.Text = ""
	module.ShowMainFrame()
	Content = Content or ">> NPC process stopped unexpectedly. <<"
	
	for i = 1, #Content do
		ContentTextLabel.Text = string.format("<stroke>%s%s%s%s</stroke>%s",
			string.sub(Content, 1, i - 3),
			string.format('<font transparency="0.25">%s</font>', Content:sub(i - 2, i - 2)),
			string.format('<font transparency="0.5">%s</font>', Content:sub(i - 1, i - 1)),
			string.format('<font transparency="0.75">%s</font>', Content:sub(i, i)),
--			string.format('<font transparency=".75">%s</font>', 
--				i<#Content and module.GenerateRandomCharacter() or ""),
			string.format('<font transparency=".99">%s</font>', Content:sub(i+1, #Content))
		)
		local CurrentCharacter = Content:split("")[i]
		if CurrentCharacter ~= " " and CurrentCharacter ~= "." then
			module.PlaySoundAtSpeed("press_button_ui", 1)
		end
		wait(0.06)
	end
	
	ContentTextLabel.Text = Content
end
