Action Bar Animation

[EvilsSouls]

I don't understand how i can do that with the action bar, like it first is:

"I" than
"I " after that
"I d" and so forth until there stants "i don't understand"

So that it looks like it is getting typed in the action bar

split the text with /txt [] to make a list and then trim that list from 0 or whatever to a var which you increment every (NUMBER) ticks, then join that text

okay thx, i will try it

You guys love softcoding XD ;D

wdym?

You can create a function that will allow you to do this with any text, simply set a variable called "dialogue" before you call the function and it will display the text in the action bar, for example:

Set Variable (dialogue = "Hello!") >> Call Function(Action Bar Text)

Then, make a function called Action Bar Text.

Function(Action Bar Text) >> Player Action: Send Message(dialogue)

If you've set this up all correctly, when you join the game and trigger the call function then a message with "Hello!" should be sent in chat.

Next up, creating the actual system. Firstly convert the text to a list using Set Variable: Split Text(diagList, dialogue, (/txt [])), using the /txt [] trick Prince mentioned. Then get the length of that list using Set Variable: Get List Length(lLength, diagList). This will tell us how many characters are in the text. So all in all, you should be left with:

Function(Action Bar Text) >> Set Var: Split Text(diag List, dialogue, "") >> Set Var: Get List Length(lLength, diagList)

We'll have to use a Repeat: Multiple Times to achieve that scrolling effect. Set up a Repeat: Multiple Times(i, lLength) with a Control: Wait(1) in it. Then we'll trim the original text we're given so that only certain characters are shown, using Set Var: Trim Text(toSend, dialogue, 1, i). This will set toSend to the trimmed version of dialogue, which has been trimmed to the characters between 1 and i. This means that the first iteration will be 1 and i=1, so toSend will be set to "H", second iteration will be 1 and i=2, so toSend will be set to "He", etc. Finally we just send this as an action bar using Player Action: Send Action Bar Message(toSend). Here's what your code should look like:

Function(Action Bar Text) >> Set Var: Split Text(diag List, dialogue, "") >> Set Var: Get List Length(lLength, diagList) >> Repeat: Multiple Times(i, lLength) [[ Control: Wait(1) >> Set Var: Trim Text(toSend, dialogue, 1, i) >> Player Action: Send Action Bar Message(toSend)]]

Or you can always grab a template from the code vault.

Apologies for the wall of text, I wanted to explain the system in full. If you have any further questions or critiques of my system then feel free to let me know :) Hope this helps!

I finnaly went to spent the time coding again (i took a small break) and i did it like this:
Idk what to say so... if you want to see the template click this massage

 

[EvilsSouls]

btw what is code vault?

 

[General_Mudkip]

btw what is code vault?

It's a plot that allows you to upload and download code templates, so that you can use them in your own plot.

 

[EvilsSouls]

ohh

 

[EvilsSouls]

there are more than one, whitch one would you recommand?
