How do I give a TextLabel in a ScreenGui a typewriter effect?
It's obvious you can do this by doing:
01 | script.Parent.Parent.Dialog.TextLabel.Text="H" |
02 | wait(0.05) |
03 | script.Parent.Parent.Dialog.TextLabel.Text="He" |
04 | wait(0.05) |
05 | script.Parent.Parent.Dialog.TextLabel.Text="Hel" |
06 | wait(0.05) |
07 | script.Parent.Parent.Dialog.TextLabel.Text="Hell" |
08 | wait(0.05) |
09 | script.Parent.Parent.Dialog.TextLabel.Text="Hello" |
10 | wait(0.05) |
11 | script.Parent.Parent.Dialog.TextLabel.Text="Hello." |
But I just want a simple function I can put my text into so that it does what I want easily.

It's actually really simple, try this :)
1 | local text = "Whatever text you want this to be" |
2 |
3 | for i = 1, #text do |
4 | script.Parent.Parent.Dialog.TextLabel.Text = string.sub(text, 1, i) |
5 | wait(0.04) --This is the speed of the text |
6 | end |

Put the individual characters you want typed into the table called Words
01 | local Words = {"H","e'","l","l","o","."} |
02 |
03 | local function Type() |
04 | for i,v in pairs(Words[i]) do |
05 | wait(0.05) |
06 | script.Parent.Parent.Dialog.TextLabel.Text=script.Parent.Parent.Dialog.TextLabel.Text..v |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | Type() |
Press view source to see the entirety of line 6, it's pretty long.
