Quicker way for NPC type?
I made a way to make NPC type that actually works, but to make it talk, I paste it as much times as the number of characters in the sentence, and then make it so after 0.05 seconds it types another character. Is there a faster way instead of removing a character from the text every time? (This is a LocalScript, so it can work with filteringenabled.)
01 | function onClick3(plr) |
02 | local text = plr.PlayerGui.TalkGui.Message3.TextLabel |
03 | text.Parent:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.3,0, 0.623,0),'Out', 'Quad', 0.23) -- gui pops up |
04 | wait(0.25) |
05 | sound:Play() -- talking sound plays |
06 | text.Text = "" |
07 | wait(0.05) |
08 | text.Text = "D" |
09 | wait(0.05) |
10 | text.Text = "Do " |
11 | wait(0.05) |
12 | text.Text = "Do y" |
13 | wait(0.05) |
14 | text.Text = "Do yo" |
15 | wait(0.05) |

I give you a challenge: Make a function that accepts an argument that is any string, The function will take the string and display each character one by one, based on how long it is and how much type you make it delay. This could be fun! :D Pojoto 329 — 6y

string.sub is what you'll need. string.sub(text, start, end) will return the part of the string from the start to end, or from the start to the end of the string - if the end parameter isn't specified.
1 | local txt = 'Do you like being classy?' |
2 |
3 | for i = 1, #txt do |
4 | text.Text = txt:sub(1, i) |
5 | wait() |
6 | end |
P.S: txt:sub(1, i) is syntactic sugar for string.sub(txt, 1, i)
