Your target/source text should be Test2, and your length should be based on your visible text Test, so you have those swapped. Also, your Test object needs to start out empty. That expression says set Text to whatever the length of Test was originally +1 character, so if your original text starts out already longer than your target text, you won't get the typewriter effect.

Update: So in the string do I swap Test1 and Test2 around? Also, I made the correct one empty, and put text in the other.

The expression you are using says take however long your text currently is, and display one more character. This will happen every 0.2 seconds.

Oh! I see now. Thanks!

Do I set the length based on the amount of letters or words or...?

Hi. I'm currently programming scrolling text, and I was following a tutorial, and it dosen't seem to be working. Can anyone tell me where I've gone wrong and how to fix it? My current work is on Layout 5 and Event Sheet 5, so I'm not that far in. Also, my DropBox is full so that's why I'm using a Google Drive link. Thanks in advance!

Use the Keyboard > On key code pressed event. The key code for "Enter" is 13.

Then add the action you're using to advance the dialogue.

Here's a list of all key codes... It even has an interactive tool for ppl too lazy to look thru the list. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

OK cool! All done! Thanks!

All I want to do is to make it so when a player presses enter, dialogue progresses. Any ideas?

Your second layout does not have an event sheet attached to it. Click the Layout, then check the properties bar to assign an event sheet.

It's finally working now! Thank you so SO much!

Gotta break up your link a bit with spaces so it doesn't get truncated

Wait hang on a second, I think it's the button, not the programming.

Google Drive works fine.

Without seeing what you did, I can only say you did something wrong.

Here is an updated example with layout switching: dropbox.com/s/881zxb3m1ch94 ... .capx?dl=0

Sorry, it's me again. Is there any way other than Dropbox that I could send the project to you? I just want to see if you can see what's wrong, if you don't mind of course.

OK I think I see where I've gone wrong. Thank you so much for all the help!
