Is there a way to 'tween' text in a textbox GUI?
I want to have text appear in a textbox letter by letter, as if it is being typed live. I have searched around the wiki and looked through more questions than I can count on scripting helpers and I cannot seem to find anything!
I'm not too sure if I'm searching the wrong things or if it is just not possible.
If it can be done, please help me out on how to do it!

Ok the best way to do this would be to use a for loop and set the allign property to left or right so the code would loo something like this.
local finalText = 'string'
for i = 0, #finalText do
textBox.Text = string.sub(finalText, 0, i)
wait(.5)
end
what we are doing here is looping through the string that will go in the textbox and every half second another letter is added
