For J.U.L.I.A. I wrote a little method, which after you supply string and time does the following:

1. it writes letter by letter the specified and localized string
2. it waits for a specified time and then the text disappear

So how does it work?

1. create a script and call it system_writer.script

Code: WME Script

1. #include "scripts/base.inc"
2.  
3. method Initialize()
4. {
5.         var win = Game.CreateWindow();
6.         this.win = win;
7.         win.Visible = false;
8.         win.X = 0;
9.         win.Width = 1024;
10.         win.Y = 374;
11.         win.Height = 20;
12.         var edit = win.CreateStatic();
13.         edit.Height = 20;
14.         edit.Width = 1024;
15.         edit.X = 0;
16.         edit.Y = 0;
17.         edit.SetFont("fonts\tahoma.font");
18.         edit.TextAlign = TAL_LEFT;
19.         this.edit = edit;
20. }
21.  
22. method Write(textToWrite, time)
23. {
24.          var win = this.win;
25.          var ed = this.edit;
26.          win.Y = 374;
27.                 
28.          ed.Text = Game.ExpandString(textToWrite);
29.         ed.SizeToFit();
30.    
31.        ed.X = 512 - ed.Width / 2;
32.    
33.      
34.         
35.          ed.Text = "";
36.          win.Visible = true;
37.          var str = new String(Game.ExpandString(textToWrite));
38.  
39.  
40.          for (var a = 0; a<str.Length; a=a+1)
41.          {
42.                        ed.Text = str.Substr(0,a+1);
43.                         ed.SizeToFit();
44.                        
45.                        Sleep(100);
46.          }            
47.          Sleep(time);
48.         
49.          ed.Text = "";
50.          win.Visible = false;
51.         
52. }
53.  

2. in scripts/base.inc add

global writer;

3. in scripts/game.script add the following:

Code: WME Script

1. writer = new Object("scripts\system_writer.script");
2. writer.Initialize();
3.  

4. now whenever you want to use it, try:

Code: WME Script

1. writer.Write("Testing letter by letter writer.", 1500);
2.  

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the code ! would be cool if you posted different fun code samples too. I hope to see more stuff from J.U.L.I.A. soon !

Very useful. Thank you!

Thank you a lot, Meta!  This is very useful indeed...I'm sure I'll be using such a cool feature very soon.
