	wait(0.1)
	script.Parent.Text = "H"
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Hu"
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Huh"
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Huh."
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Huh.."
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Huh..?"
	wait(3)
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = " "
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "W"
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Wh"
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Whe"
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Wher"
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Where"
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Where "
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Where a"
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.Text = "Where am"

There is nothing activating the function.

Do the following. Create something that activates the function, such as a remoteEvent that, when triggered, does this.

So... Let's assume that the dialogue starts when the player touches a piece

To activate this RemoteEvent on the specific client, do the following.

local Debounce = false -- Is a lock.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Debounce == false then
		Debounce = true

		local Character = Hit.Parent
		local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
		if Player then
			script.Parent.RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player)
		end
		
	end
end)

In the LocalScript.

local DialoguePart = workspace:WaitForChild("DialoguePart")
local RemoteEvent = DialoguePart:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	-- Your Code here. To make changes to the text.
end)

Hope this helps

Any questions, you can ask me

Try seeing if it's because you're using an if statement when you should have something that checks more often (if statements only run once)

Try:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

workspace.IntroductionValue:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	if workspace.IntroductionValue.Value == 1 then
		print("(????)")
		script.Parent.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
		wait(0.1)
		script.Parent.Text = "H"
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Hu"
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Huh"
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Huh."
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Huh.."
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Huh..?"
		wait(3)
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = " "
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "W"
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Wh"
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Whe"
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Wher"
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Where"
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Where "
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Where a"
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Where am"
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Where am "
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Where am I"
		wait(0.5)
		script.Parent.Text = "Where am I?"
	end
end)

Use a for loop my guy.

It's good practice to use events instead of infinite loops. Having code run unnecessarily is... well unnecessary.
