How do I create Type-On Text Effect Typewriter with Cursor (c2)

Hi Community,

I guess I'm trying to create a computer terminal that auto types whatever is in a Textbox. I've seen a few articles online and many out broken capx.

I can get the text to type

DestText | left(SourceText.Text, len(DestText.Text) + 1)

however, I'm trying to put a cursor (sprite) in front of it.

Any ideas please?

Thanks,

Roberto

Does it HAVE to be a sprite cursor? You could use one of the several unicode block characters. Like this example.

Cheers!

Here is my example I made for some other post:

Thanks dop2000,

I guess I'm looking for a typewriter effect reading from another textbox... so I don't have to type in the type.

Pretty neat through ;)

You can use the same principle. Only instead of receiving characters from keyboard, get them one by one from TextBox.text
