Title: Auto-Type Effect (type-on text)
Post by: brendang on August 23, 2012, 09:51:31 PM

So I found this cool little script on the Unity wiki for Auto typing.  Basically it allows you to type on your GUI Text over time.  http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=AutoType

I set a Playmaker state to wait for an OnTrigger event that would send an event to a second state which activates the GUIText object. Unfortunately it flashes the full text first, then it types it on.

My next thought, was to add a 'set GUIText' in the second state after activating the GUIText object.  It still flashes the text first, then types it on.   

I'd appreciate some thoughts on how I might avoid the flash of the text before it types on.

thanks,
Brendan G.

Hi,

 set your text to an empty string first, then apply your technic, or only show your text after.

could you share a package with this? and I'll have a look.

bye,
