Hello!

Yeah, I know, there is so much typewrite codes around...
But I wanted to share my own version with you!
I made it by looking at pyrometal's code and when I understood how
it works, I built my own, shorter version.

- Speak is variable where function stores the line.
- type is variable that is used to store characters into
text actor.
- counter is variable that holds the amount of
characters printed.

The code:

Code: Select all

char Speak[200] = " "; //Create variables
char type[200] = " ";
int counter;

void message(char Line[200]) //Create function
{
    int i; //Create integer called i
    int limit = strlen(Line); //Create integer called limit and make it equal to string length of "Line"
 
    for (i = 0; i <= 199; i ++) //Reset strings and counter
    {
        Speak[i] = NULL;
        type[i] = NULL;
        counter = 0;
    }
 
    for (i = 0; i < limit; i ++) //Store "Line" to "Speak"
    {
        Speak[i] = Line[i];
    }
}


Add this code to text actors draw actor event:

Code: Select all

if (counter < strlen(Speak))
{
    type[counter] = Speak[counter]; //Store "Speak" characters to "type" one by one
    sprintf(text, type); //Print "type"
    counter ++; //Increase counter
}

Sorry for that there's no comments in the zip file. =P

I want to thank pyrometal for sharing codes of his typewriter engine. It helped me alot. =) Also thanks to DST and Bee-Ant for sending me their typewriter engines. =)
Tell me what you think!

EDIT: Added little thing that turns written text backwards...

You should also define the variables that are needed in it, because I don't know which ones iare an integer and what ones are a string or something else.

Please download the demo. As I said in my post, that post didn't contain the actual function, its inside the zip.

Oh, I must have saw this post before the demo was up. I'll download it now.

EDIT: Pretty good.

Thanks!

Nice
But you forgot to add the //comments for each code's part
to describe each function or usage

Oh yeah... I'll add those later today.

Comments added to the code in the main post.

That's more user friendly

Yeah.
(Though it makes the code seem more complicated... )

Longer yes, complicated no
(I think)

Maybe unclear is better word..?

Added little fun thing that works like turning you text backwards.
Like this:

You write: Wow! Cool!
And that's what comes out: !looC !woW

Good Job lcl, and DST & BeeAnt.

Thanks man.
