Manipulating tables for an NPC-dialog GUI?
local textPath = script.Parent
local text = ""
local textlen = string.len(text)
for i = 1, textlen do
textPath.Text = (string.sub(text, 1, i))
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
wait(0.04)
end
I'm making a GUI that has a character 'speak' text, but I want the character to say the multiple sets of text in a single function without needing a messy script.
Basically, I want my local text variable to have a table containing different texts and manipulating said table to say certain phrases.
In this case, it's just going to be something like this:
local text = {
"T";
"E";
"S";
"T";
}
I need this manipulative variable to be intertwined into my current script, but I don't know how to. Also, if a kind gentleman/lady would tell me how to order how the text is "played-through", I would be greatful.
Ultimately, I'm asking for somebody to modify my script to the way I like it, I apologize if this sounds like a request; I have no real idea on how to do this.

function phrase1()
local phrase = ("Hello.")
end
function phrase2()
local phrase = ("How are you?")
end
local phrase = phrase1() --starts with phrase1
for i=1,string.len(phrase)do
wait(0.1)
p.Text = string.sub(word,1,i)
end
phrase2() --convert to phrase two
for i=1,string.len(phrase)do
wait(0.1)
p.Text = string.sub(word,1,i)
end

function chat1()
local word = ("Hello.")
for i=1,string.len(word)do wait(0.1)
p.Text = string.sub(word,1,i)
end
end
The above script will take whatever your local word is, and then spell it out one letter at a time. Hope that's what you wanted.
