"Typing" UI scheme? (Need help, should be simple)
For example, someone typing a sentence using a Keyboard. I'm trying to mimic that but I've never done it before, this is my best guess.
Also, to put it in perspective, think about an RPG and when the NPC's talk to you.
This script is for an NPC GUI. When you press a "Chat" button it will greet you with the following script using a 'typing' scheme.
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
local text = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.npcChat.ImageLabel.TextLabel.Text
local txtTable = {
"t",
"e",
"s",
"t",
}
text = table.concat(txtTable, ' ')
end)

Do you mean something like instead of the text appearing all at once it appears by each individual letter? Lucky for you, I think I made that script a long time ago and still have it. Tadaa
function characterChatspellOut(text)
local textlen = string.len(text)
for i = 1, textlen do
print(string.sub(text, 1, i))
if textlen >= 20 then
wait(0.04)
elseif textlen >= 15 then
wait(0.05)
elseif textlen >= 10 then
wait(0.07)
else
wait(.1)
end
end
end
I'm going to explain it a little just in case you are curious.
Base script
function characterChatspellOut(text)
local textlen = string.len(text)
for i = 1, textlen do
print(string.sub(text, 1, i))
wait(0.05)
end
end
The different between the script above and the first one is that sometimes when I have really long dialogue I prefer to speed it up. To do this, in the first script I say if the text length(textlen) is greater then 20 characters then(and then I make the wait smaller) Hope this helps.
