I followed your code to the letter and it worked perfectly in all departments-except for the one thing I realized wasn't mentioned in this video, which is completing words that overlap with the end of the screen. The words tend t o cut off someth ing like this. I found the easiest solution to this is to just put enough spaces into your input text (basically using empty spaces in substitution for paragraph breaks) to make the text engine drop the letters down before the entire word starts, but I feel like this is going to cause problems down the long run. If you ever have a better answer for this one, please let us know!

@theonetruemilkman48947 ай бұрын
Thanks, this is simple and gets the job done, and it's easy to use any character, and add a little sound to make depending on a variable you determine, so that you can have a game with characters that have unique dialouge sounds. Although, I think it's better to name each capital letter costume their capital letter, rather than a lowercase one, and then make sprites for the lowercase letters. That would make it as simple as inputing exactly what you want it say. Other than that, this is was really helpful!

Hi there! I just followed your instructions, and the text engine worked! The only thing is, when I type in for example: "hello!" it types h, then the e glides over the h, then the l, then the other l, then the o. It creates a weird-looking effect and I don't like it lol. I have looked over my code, and it looks exactly like yours, but it doesn't have the same outcome. I'm not sure why this is happening! Thanks for reading and if you have any tips it would be appreciated!
