How to fix my script for GUI "typing" effect? [Answered]
I want the letters to form 1 by 1 to make seem as if it's being typed. I stumbled upon an error with my script showing numbers in-between each. I feel like I should know how to fix it but I'm stuck. Here's my script (Not Local) :
SP = script.Parent
while true do
SP.Text = "H"..wait(0.1).. "e"..wait(0.1).."l"..wait(0.1).."l"..wait(0.1).."o"
wait(2)
end
Thank you(This script is not finished, I'll be having more words show that's why it's so small). Oh, it is set as ScreenGui>Frame>TextLabel>script

I know it's possible, For example Khols admin script using shouts, their words are typed on to the screen. alphawolvess 1784 — 10y

Your problem here is that you are concatenating the return of wait, which happens to be a number.
Your script also isn't very scaleable, since you're trying to write all the numbers by hand. Here's a more easily extendable form, using some string manipulation:
local sp = script.Parent
function guiType(word)
if string.len(word) <= 1 then
sp.Text = word
return
end
for i = 1, string.len(word) do
sp.Text = string.sub(word, 1, i)
wait(.1)
end
end
local words = {"Hello.", "How are you?"}
while true do
guiType(words[1])
wait(2)
guiType(words[2])
wait(2)
end
