Making text type itself out like Katawa Shoujo

#1 Post by jamiemorris12 » Sat Feb 09, 2013 2:57 pm

So I've been wondering after playing Katawa Shoujo that, everytime a dialogue appears the text types itself out. How do you actually do that effect? Any help would be appreciated thanks! :D

In Options.rpy, there's a line that says "config.default_text_cps = 0", which is "The default text speed in characters per second. 0 is infinite." So changing that 0 to a higher number should do what you want, if I understand correctly.

Edit: this can also be changed in the menu of a game, so be sure to Delete Persistent if something goes awry.
