Well, your local psychic is off to visit your mother! Group: Members Posts: 6252 Member No.: 2501 Joined: 15-August 06 Status: (0d)	You know how in some games, like the Zelda series, they don't just open whole textboxes? They get gradually filled in as if they were being typed on a typewriter. Well, I've seen the effect used in Game Maker, and I'd like to know how to do it. I've looked on MFGG for one, but I can't find anything. Thanks to whomever helps out! -------------------- Falcon Punch is the result of the Sun heating fists. It drives the Blue Falcon. Heating causes destruction of water into the pain, where it then hurts, creating rain. Rain creates flowing water in tears, which can then be converted into other forms through more pain.

Enemy Objects: [\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|--] Just gonna add Spinies, Bullet Bills and Cheep Cheeps! Boss Fights: None in progress. General Engine: [\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|-] Ranking System Complete! Gonna add pipes! Levels Complete: [\|---------] Haven't even finished the tutorial!

I've already seen that and it uses sprites; I'm looking for one that uses actual text.

Plus it's kind of glitchy and I have to use a bunch of spaces in places and I'm not likely to remember where.
