Hi, I want to create a typewriter effect that plays a sound for each character shown, very similar to the mega man battle network message system. Im currently using this code in my string object.
Left$(string$( "temp dialogue" ), Len(string$( "dialogue" ))+1)
with a sound played and a new character shown every 00'-05. The only problem is that the sound plays even if a character is not being displayed. For example I might have this text "Hello, Welcome to the world!" During the huge space between 'hello' and 'welcome' the sound keeps playing every 00'-05 and I can't figure out why. Is there any way to fix this?

commas and spaces are characters, just like A, 8, or & are
you need something in your code to distinguish characters that should not play the sounds;

Thanks, but how would I make it distinguish between new lines? for example.
"Hello
World."
I tried this and it played the sound during the space between hello and world.

Isn't a linebreak a character you can tell it not to make a sound at?

a line break is a "NewLine$" character, which is really "\n"
just use " = NewLine$". This character is found under Special-->Strings-->New Line

if I'm not mistaken I believe newline$ is actually two characters, and therefore can't be extracted from a string for comparison.
I'll mess with your code and see if I can get it to work.
EDIT: I was correct, the Newline$ "character" is actually two characters. I suggest skipping them altogether by using a loop.

eh isn't newline just the "\n" characters?
as in you take the exact same code I used, and instead of splicing off the last character, you splice off the last two, and compare it to newline? And splice the 1st character off the end of a newline to compare to for the single byte of the "\" before it reaches the N?
