Hi guys, I've been trying to look for a type writer effect. I'm sure I've seen one somewhere before, but I can't seem to find it.
So I tried to make one! Here are my two attempts. The one on the left "Char by Char" uses the String Truncate function to put each character up at a time, the problem with this is that when a long word comes up near the boundary of the box it gets wrapped half way through printing. I came up with the one of the right, using the Bars Swipe Transition. It takes the amount of lines produced combined with a constant of 0.75 (this was just a rough guess) to calculate the width of the bars. I still have to do some calculations to work out a constant per line speed, but it's ok for now. Is there a way to combine these two effects? So that the characters write on one by one, as in the first example, whilst keeping the singular image of the second. Or has anyone created such an effect before. This is part of a bigger plan, to queue the text coming in, and have multiple messages, kind of like a chat box. with old messages scrolling out of view. Thanks, Charlie
