UI Text TypeWriter Effect [Script]
An article by 
Quick & simple UI text typewriter effect (displays UI text 1 character at a time)
Assign to UI text component, it grabs the text from it at Awake() and clears it,
then starts to type out the text 1 character at a time.
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

hey, i want to make if u press a mouse button the whole text appears, how do i make that happen?
you could probably just have a var for the entire text and then make that show instead when the player presses a button
Thank!
THANKS SO MUCH! I’ve been searching for hours to find this simple solution. Thanks!
Thank you, worked like a charm!
LoL, nice start, but reading the github code suggestion/improvements makes me facepalm a lot.
Any delay can be added inside the coroutine, no need for multiple calls, no need to convert commas or dots, just compare the char dirrectly…
thank you! you’re the only one who made a script that actually works!
oh ohh ohhohoh it works.
How do I take away each character, doing a -= operator does not work.
