a person gave me this wonderful script (couldnt have done it with out ya) but i can't figure out how to make it have multiple dialogs in one. (multiple sentences in one chat) and it also stays on screen forever, it needs to fade after a small time. how can i achieve these things?

this is the script inside the textlabel

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Dialogue = RS:WaitForChild("Dialogue")

local Waits = {
    "!",
    ".",
    "?",
    ";",
    ":",
    ","
}

local TextLabel = script.Parent

function setText(Text)

    for i = 1, #Text do
        TextLabel.Text = string.sub(Text, 1, i)

        for Index, Breakers in pairs(Waits) do
            if string.sub(TextLabel.Text, i, i) == Breakers then
                task.wait(0.2)
            end
        end
        task.wait(0.1)
    end

end



Dialogue.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(msg)
    TextLabel.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
    setText(msg)
end)

this is the script inside the proximityprompt

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local DialogueEvent = RS:WaitForChild("Dialogue")

local Prox = script.Parent

Prox.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
    DialogueEvent:FireClient(plr, "hey there, want some snacks")
end)

also, it has a remoteevent in replicated storage

You can use a table with the strings in it. And you can set up a new number variable.

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Dialogue = RS:WaitForChild("Dialogue")

local Waits = {
    "!",
    ".",
    "?",
    ";",
    ":",
    ","
}

local TextLabel = script.Parent

local DialogueTables = {
    "Hey there! I am the first dialogue to be shown!",
    "And I'm second!"
}

local Speed

function setText(Text)

    for i = 1, #Text do
        Speed = (#Text * 0.1)

        TextLabel.Text = string.sub(Text, 1, i)

        for Index, Breakers in pairs(Waits) do
            if string.sub(TextLabel.Text, i, i) == Breakers then
                task.wait(0.2)
            end
        end
        task.wait(0.1)
    end

end

Dialogue.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    TextLabel.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
    setText(DialogueTables[1])
    task.wait(tonumber(Speed + 1)) -- Using tonumber() to make sure it's a number, and adding a 1 is to make sure it doesn't pop off and move onto the next sentence immediately, which might be annoying if you haven't finished reading it
    setText(DialogueTables[2])
    task.wait(tonumber(Speed + 1))
    TextLabel.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
end)

Of course, there MIGHT be some flaws in this script. If there is, please let me know and I'll try to improve!

Is the table already made? Is the table's content are string? Did you put a specific index in the table? NotThatFamouss 605 — 3y

And is the second indexed string of the table nil or not? NotThatFamouss 605 — 3y
