Typewriter Text - Characters per second rather than a defined time

Hi All,

Was wondering if it is possible to get typewriter text to type at a defined rate i.e. characters per second, rather than over a fixed duration?

The typewriter text is great, but a fixed duration is not that useful when trying to keep typewriter text speed uniform across a project with different text string sizes.

Thanks WackyToaster

Where would that be entered to make it work?

How would you deal with overriding the duration, as it is a required input?

Cheers

Into the duration for the text.

For example 0.1*len(yourtext) will type the text at a rate of 1 character every 0.1 seconds regardless of length. len(yourtext) gives you the number of characters in your text.

Ah. Thanks heaps

Works like a charm :)

Returning to this. I am hoping to iterate through arrays that contain the text data. Can you think of an elegant way to get a uniform text speed when referencing an array location rather than actual text? At the moment the best I have (not tested yet) is to use a global variable that gets updated to the current text string from the array and then use the same solution but with len(variablestring) rather than text.

Your idea would work.
