Hey everyone!
First i want to thank you all for your help, i have been cruising the forum as a guest for weeks and resolved all my problems thanks to you guys.

Well until now, my limited scripting knowledge is showing.
I've got a typewriting script and it works great, but i want to be able to skip the typewriter effect and show the entire line being typed at once (on mouse click or key press):

Code: ags

    Overlay *TypedText;
    
      void CommentNARRATOR(int delay, String text){ 
                                                          
 
     int x; 
     int y;
     AudioClip *sound;
     sound = aNarrator_voice;
     String displayedLine = "";
     int i = 0;
  
  while (i < text.Length) {
    
     displayedLine = String.Format ("%s%c", displayedLine, text.Chars[i]);
     TypedText = Overlay.CreateTextual(85, 530, 555, eFontnarrator, 65535, displayedLine);
    
    if (text.Chars[i] == ' ')
       Wait(delay/2);
    else if (text.Chars[i] == '[')
       Wait(delay/2);
    else {
      if (sound)
        sound.Play ();
       Wait(delay);
        
     }

     i++;

  }
 if (TypedText.Valid) 
     WaitMouseKey(TYPEnarrator_MAXIMUM_DISPLAY_TIME * (delay * 4));
     TypedText.Remove();
     }

I tried multiple things, but nothing worked.

if (mouse.IsButtonDown(eMouseLeft))
i = text.Length;
is a start but only type the first letter?
