Correct Text Wrapping in Typewriter Effect

The problem with just using auto text wrapping is that words towards the end of a line may “jump” to the next line as they are typed out. For example, take this “dialogue box”:

+----------------------+
| Hello, world! This   |
| dialogue box is cool.|
+----------------------+

While the word “dialogue” is being written, it can appear like this:

+----------------------+
| Hello, world! This di|
|                      |
+----------------------+

but as soon as the next letter is written, “dialogue” will jump to the next line due to being too long:

+----------------------+
| Hello, world! This   |
| dia                  |
+----------------------+

Is there any way in blueprint for me to manually jump to the next line after the one above reaches a limit but without this weird “Jump”?

if you mean per character wrapping, yes:

otherwise there a way to do a manual wrapping, when the width of the box is reached, to push the word a line after but the issue will remain the same, it will still do this kind of jump effect of text.(and is pretty cpu expensive doing that method)

Here’s an actually good solution for the typewriter effect. Provides proper handling of word wrap AND rich text tags (AND word wrap WITH rich text tags, which is apparently it’s own little problem)
