How to make this easier or simpler?

Asked by

I was making a script that will display a sentence letter by letter but then I figured that there could be something easier to do this. Is there any easier or simpler way?

        script.Parent.Parent.Story.Text="O"
        wait(0.15)
        script.Parent.Parent.Story.Text="On"
        wait(0.15)
        script.Parent.Parent.Story.Text="One"
        wait(0.15)
        script.Parent.Parent.Story.Text="One n"
        wait(0.15)
        script.Parent.Parent.Story.Text="One ni"
        wait(0.15)
        script.Parent.Parent.Story.Text="One nig"
        wait(0.15)
        script.Parent.Parent.Story.Text="One nigh"
        wait(0.15)
        script.Parent.Parent.Story.Text="One night"
        wait(0.15)
end)

local string = "One night"

for i=1, string:len() do
    script.Parent.Parent.Story.Text = string:sub(1, i)
    wait(0.15)
end

string:len() finds the length of the string. The script loops until it has spelled out the entire string.

local Text="One night"

for i=1,#Text do
    script.Parent.Parent.Story.Text=Text:sub(1,i)
    wait(.15)
end

On line 4, you have an extra parenthesis. Nifer2 174 — 9y

Oh oops, I edited it because before it said 'print(Text:sub(1,i))' Muoshuu 580 — 9y
