how to have text appear letter by letter in unreal engine 5

I just followed a tutorial on creating a dialogue system from this video (https://youtu.be/hbs0xaNOeA0?si=EuNn4QbBrjnGGcx9) , but I don’t understand how to display the text letter by letter. Can someone help me? I’m new to Unreal Engine, so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.


anyone?

Try a macro like this:
text


Place it where you are managing the dialogue states or transitions. I suggest you manage the dialogue system as a finite state machine; add a new ‘typing’ state so the player has to press a button twice to get to next dialogue: 1 to completely display the dialogue if its still typing and second one to move to the next.
