Typewriter effect running on click event?
I'm right now trying to create a typewriter effect based on a click event in my test roblox game.
I've got the click event pinned down, But I need to know how I can get a typewriter effect working once I click something.
Here is the code I'm using
01 | local clickdetector = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ClickDetector") |
02 |
03 | clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function() |
04 | game.StarterGui.Typewritertext.TalkingText.Text = "This is simply, a test." |
05 | for i = 1, #text do |
06 | script.Parent.Parent.Dialog.TextLabel.Text = string.sub(text, 1, i) |
07 | wait(0.04) |
08 |
09 | end |
10 |
11 |
12 |
13 | end) |
Thank you!

The issue is that you’re referencing StarterGui, a replication container. This is used to form the UI on the server, however, it doesn’t actually belong to the UI that appears in-game. All of it’s content is replicated over to a container in the Player called PlayerGui. To modify the UI, you must control it from that point of reference.
Try this:
1 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
2 | local ClickDetector = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ClickDetector") |
3 |
4 | Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) |
5 | local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") |
6 | ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function() |
7 | --// From this point use PlayerGui.Typewritertext |
8 | end) |
9 | end) |

Would that be for the entire thing or only the area in which the event script is triggered? JackTheGamer44666 18 — 5y
