How do I make a 'story-mode talking text'?
I got an idea where a talking text will appear when you go to the right position but only once. Just like in the camping game but I ain't making a camping game, a roses-like instead.

you could have a typewriter function which types the text,using string.sub(), so lets say you want the script to activate 10 seconds into the game, we need a function to type the text and make it wait 10 seconds. place this script into the text UI
01 | local function TypeText(Txt, TimeToType, UI) -- We Use "TimeToType" to see how fast the typewriter will be (e.g will it take 5 seconds, 10 seconds etc) and "UI" to show which UI it will type on |
02 | local TextLength = string.len(Txt) -- Find How Long The Text Is |
03 | local TimeToWait = TextLength / TimeToType -- Divide 'TextLength' By how long it takes to get how long each character of the sentence will take to be typed. |
04 | if not UI:IsA("TextLabel") or not UI:IsA("TextBox") or not UI:IsA("TextButton") then |
05 | error("Script Error: UI is Not A TextLabel, TextButton, Or TextBox") |
06 | elseif UI:IsA("TextLabel") or UI:IsA("TextBox") or UI:IsA("TextButton") then |
07 | for textCount = 1, TextLength, 1 do |
08 | UI.Text = string.sub(Txt, 1, i) |
09 | wait(TimeToWait) |
10 | end |
11 | UI.Text = " " |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 |
15 | wait(10) |

he is not asking for that & that is not the best way to do a typewrite script, the best way for a typewrite script is with a module script NSMascot 113 — 5y

maybe ontouch
put this script into the part you want the players to touch
1 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function() -- function |
2 | --make text appear here |
3 | script.Disabled = true -- this makes sure the script won't activate again |
4 | end) -- end |
