Title: Typewriter style information for the user
Post by: colpolstudios on February 01, 2014, 07:25:23 PM

Not to sure if this is even possible i would like to display a string of text information but one letter at a time like it was being typed.

What thoughts are there about this type of information would it be a good or bad idea.

mission objectives is what i thought of putting into the string fields.

Any one any ideas on how to go about doing something like this in unity?

Personally I like typewriter effects for certain situations, just don't type too slow :p
Don't have the brainpower atm to offer a suggestion on how to roll your own, but here's an asset which takes care of it:

There's also a Playmaker sample that shows a typewriter effect.

Download the sample scenes:

Then look at this scene:
