Well its way simpler then what you have done, the mistakes you have made is you added an extra 1 which is not needed and forgot the # try this

local TextPlace = script.Parent
local Text1 = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.TextZ.Value

for i = 1, #Text1 do
    if TextPlace.Visible then
    script.Parent.Text = string.sub(Text1, 1, i)
    wait(0.2) -- Adjust speed
end
end

(Not tested in studio might not be 100% accurate)

if TextPlace.Visible == true 
    for i = 1,Text1.Value do
        TextPlace.Text = Text1.Value:sub(1,i)
        wait(0.01)
    end
end

I found numerous issues with the code. First of all, if you do Text1.Value as the variable its just going to be the value. It's not going to change when you change the value of Text1. I also modified the loop and fixed the wait(). It wasn't loading because since wait() is in an instant you didn't see anything since it's going super fast. Hope this helps
