Well, I know I should atleast try to make a script, but I don't know where to start that script.
I know how to program- I'm not very.. advanced aha.

How does one make a script where it types a text in realtime?

So instead of just making the whole text appear, I want it to be fancy; make one letter appear at a time.

Set the transparency to

(-1/NumberOfLetters)+1
And assuming my math is correct, you will get the intensity of one solid letter spaced out over multiple words.

Try for loops.

String = "(-1/NumberOfLetters)+1"
Text = ""

for i = 1, String:len() do
wait(1/10)
Text = String:sub(1,i)
end

I hope you were being sarcastic, because I wasn't actually helping that time.

Message = Workspace.Message --Assuming you have a message in Workspace, but change this to a GUI or whatever you need.

String = "I hope you were being sarcastic, because I wasn't actually helping that time."

for i = 1, String:len() do
wait(1/7.5)
Message.Text = String:sub(1,i)
end

Worked out nice.

Although I had to do a few tweaks. Thanks.
