I'm making a dialogbox. "Percent_visible" and "Timer" don't work. Please help.

I created RichTextLabel node, typed some text and it works, okay. Next I tried to add animated typing ("letter by letter"). I was searching for wait()-like function and I found 2 ways to do this: 1) Use "delta" of function "_process" like in this picture: 2) Use the Timer node.

1st option isn't satisfied cuz just look at my code: I can't use "delta" provided that I must stay in while-loop. So I should use then the Timer. But I can't understand how it works. I watched some guides, I've done same code as in sources, and I've got no result. The text is just appearing fully and nothing else.

Here's my tries:

Even if I make AddPercentVisible with no arguments, it doesn't work:

If you know how the Timer works, I'll be so thankful for explainings.

Just a hunch, but tween might be useful to you.

Basically, if I understand you correctly, you want to animate the percent visible property of the text node, tween should be able to do that.

Ok, I made many 'if' conditions with bool variables and used delta as timer. Topic is closed.

Indeed. It is not required by any means to mark the post containing the solution as an answer, it just makes it easier for others having the same problem to find the solution. My apologizes if what I wrote was taken the wrong way!

Oh, okay! I understand, sorry. I didn't have possibility to mark my comment as solution so I thought that I should somehow mark my topic as answered e.g. by [Solved]. Thanks for explaining!

No reason to apologize! It is all good :smile: I should have phrased what I wrote better. My apologizes for the miscommunication and the confusion.
