PausableTypewriter(TextMeshProUGUI,float,Action,Action,Action,Stack<(int position, float duration)>,CoroutineInterruptToken)

Method in Effects

Summary

A coroutine that gradually reveals the text in a TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI object over time.

public static IEnumerator PausableTypewriter(TextMeshProUGUI text, float lettersPerSecond, Action onCharacterTyped, Action onPauseStarted, Action onPauseEnded, Stack<(int position, float duration)> pausePositions, CoroutineInterruptToken stopToken = null)

Remarks

Essentially identical to Typewriter(TextMeshProUGUI,float,Action,CoroutineInterruptToken) but supports pausing the animation based on pausePositions values.

This method works by adjusting the value of the text parameter's TextMeshProUGUI.maxVisibleCharacters property. This means that word wrapping will not change half-way through the presentation of a word.

Depending on the value of lettersPerSecond, onCharacterTyped may be called multiple times per frame.

Due to an internal implementation detail of TextMeshProUGUI, this method will always take at least one frame to execute, regardless of the length of the text parameter's text.
