Typing Overlay Question

Hellloooo :slight_smile:

I wanted to give my overlay the effect of it being typed out for my intro, I was wondering if anyone has some tips are tricks on how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Typed out? I think you’ll have to have each letter as a separate overlay.

Yeah that’s what I assumed :confused:

I’m not sure there’s any other way around it.

It’s easy to do, just takes a lot of code to do it, this example types the word ‘meanwhile’ on the screen, with typing noises.
