I am trying to make a text box appear on screen, which is working successfully. However, i am trying to make letters appear, one after the other, in the box, making it look as if the letters are being typed in. This works also, but the problem i have with it is that when i use sleep(1), it types too slowly.
Does anyone know how to make it type faster, without it all appearing immediately? (Decimals dont work, and any number <= 0 in sleep makes it appear immediately.)

The only way to get a shorter sleep is to change world.tick_lag, which has a bunch of probably-undesired effects. My advice is to just make the letters appear in chunks of 2 or 3 or 4, instead of 1 at a time.

You can do sleep(world.tick_lag*n) w/ n as any positive integer, and it would reduce sleep times without causing undesired effects. | |
