    script.Parent.Text = letters

Yes lol. Use string.sub in a for loop to get that 'typing' effect.

local msg = "To close the main menu press 'q'"

while wait(1) do
    for i = 1,msg:len() do
        script.Parent.Text = msg:sub(1,i)
        wait(.1)
    end
end

Hope I helped(:

I ended up using this script, and I have a question, Goulstem. How would you break the loop after it played once? SchonATL 15 — 10y
