  • Thank you for this great plugin. I hope you find the time to update it to SDK v2. Please keep up the good work!

  • Hello, it appears this addon is not supported by Construct3 anymore since they moved from SDK v1 to SDK v2. Would it be possible to update the addon so that it's available for more recent Construct stable versions like r458.2 ? 🙏

    This is the only autotyping addon available and it's way better than the built-in autotyping, so I would be very thankful if the author gets to update it.

    • Hi, yeah I will eventually port it to sdk v2 but Scirra didnt give us enough time to port all of our addons.

      I will try to do it as soon as I can but it takes time to do

  • This didn't work for me either. I tried to copy and paste the examples, but nothing happened.

  • I checked out this addon in the latest LTS version, it's awesome. Very excited for it to be ported to SDK 2!

  • Hi Skymen!

    Any news on the update to sdk 2?

    • Hi, I am currently busy but I do plan on porting this to V2.

      I will try and work with Scirra to make it support as much of the addon's features as I can but I can't make any promises as it's out of my hands sadly.

  • i have a problem, i now understand that the wait tag should be written like this: [tw=wait (time)], but how do i do it with sfdx? i tried the shake one using [sfdx=shake 2] and [sfdx=shake (2)] but it didn't work. The "default alias" is checked.

    • you have to do [sfdx=tag shake(2)] like [sfdx=offsetx shake(2)]

      In the docs there is some more information:

      [sfdx=offsety 8*cos(t * 300 + i * 90)]my wavy text[/sfdx]

  • Just been messing around with this addon recently and I'm really impressed with how well its done... Honestly feels on par with ACTUAL construct 3 addons. Question I have; is there a built in way to have a short delay before resuming typing? Like... If I wanted a delay between a period and the next sentence, or a short delay between a space and the next word. Stuff like that. And also if there's a way to have it detect certain letters being typed. For example: right now I'm trying to make it so that whenever there's a space, period, or a coma there won't be a text sound.

  • I found this addon extremely useful for my RPG game! However, it seems like it may become unsupported around the end of 2026, due to the program using SDK v1, rather than SDK v2. Can we expect an update for this program?

    • Hi, yes most of the features in this addon can be ported to SDK v2, besides maybe one minor thing that I plan on addressing with the help of the Construct team.

      Unfortunately, porting addons, especially ones as complex as this one, takes a lot of time which I don't have at the moment. I will do it, but if I can't do it before v1 is discontinued, please stick to the next LTS version which will still support sdk v1 for an extra 18 months.

  • A stable version of the constructor is already available. please run the fix

  • Since the new beta, your typewriter trigger is not working again

    • Yes, this is a known bug, the text renderer has been changed in the last beta and it broke this addon. Please stay on stable for now, I will fix it once the beta is later in the cycle when the code is less likely to change
