Text slow typing effect ( Advance Scripting ) Help?
ok so I want TextLabel text sentence slowly type out like in those CSI movies you know where it types like a typewriter you know ok so that would look something like this
script.parent.text = "H" wait(.1) script.parent.text = "He" wait(.1) script.parent.text = "Hel" wait(.1) script.parent.text = "Hell" wait(.1) script.parent.text = "Hello"
you get the idea but there has to be a more professional and better way of doing this I just can't think of anything that would work in this situation.

Use string.sub() to piece up a String, join this within a generic for loop you can increment the character-max argument supplied to sub, and as well optionally supply a yield as all loops require.
local TextLabel = script.Parent
local TypeString = "Hello world!"
for Character = 1,#TypeString do wait(.5)
TextLabel.Text = TypeString:sub(1,Character)
end

Thanks! worked great, only thing is that you forgot to add a wait() for the for loop 14dark14 167 — 4y

Look at that. I literally just make an answer about yield requirements of iteration scopes.... this is just sad;) Ziffixture 6913 — 4y
