Good morning, could someone please explain the best way to make MoText “type” into the scene letter by letter? I am trying to create a typewriter effect to a paragraph of copy.
Thank you!

Hi Devoted,

Please have a look into the Formula Effector> Effector> f-Frequency.

The values that are used there are the ID numbers of the letters. It starts with zero. Set the values as linear interpolation for equal progress of writing.

The Formula-Effector is set to determine the Visibility of the Clones [Parameter Tab].

The formula itself is simple ID<f. Which means, if the ID of the clones is smaller than f, then it produces a value one, as it is true. Otherwise, the result is zero, as in not true. This, in return, determines the visibility. A value of one equals visible, a value of zero sets it to invisible.

The Formula Effector is used in the Letter Tab.
