Advanced Typewriter System Documentation

This documentation provides a technical overview and integration guide for the Advanced Typewriter System plugin, featuring custom Blueprint nodes for dynamic text display.

I. Overview of Custom Nodes

The plugin exposes two primary custom Blueprint nodes for handling typewriter effects. These nodes are designed to provide granular control over the text animation speed, timing, and synchronization.

A. Node: Type Char (Advanced Type Text)

This node processes text by animating the display character by character. It offers high precision over the typing speed and punctuation timing.

Parameter	Type	Control	Description
Text	String	Input	The source text content to be animated.
Text Block	Object Reference	Input	Reference to the UMG Text Block widget where the output text will be displayed.
Chars Per Sec	Integer	Input	Defines the speed of the effect in characters per second.
Enable Punctuation Delay	Boolean	Input	If checked, the system will apply extra delay when encountering punctuation marks.
Puntuations	Enumeration (Array)	Input	Customizable list of punctuation marks and their associated delay times.
Type Sound	Audio Asset	Input	The sound played for each typed character (if enabled).
Should Pause with Game	Boolean	Input	Determines if the typing animation pauses when the game is paused.

Execution Outputs (Flow):

Output Pin	Purpose
Type in Progress	Executed every time a character is typed, useful for UI feedback.
Type Completed	Executed once the entire text string has been fully displayed.

B. Node: Type Word (Advanced Type Word)

This node processes text by animating the display word by word. This is suitable for faster, less granular text reveal effects.

Parameter	Type	Control	Description
Text	String	Input	The source text content to be animated.
Text Block	Object Reference	Input	Reference to the UMG Text Block widget where the output text will be displayed.
Words Per Sec	Integer	Input	Defines the speed of the effect in words per second.
Enable Punctuation Delay	Boolean	Input	If checked, extra delay is applied after punctuation marks.
Puntuations	Enumeration (Array)	Input	Customizable list of punctuation marks and their associated delay times.
Type Sound	Audio Asset	Input	The sound played for each typed word (if enabled).

C. Flow Control and Status Outputs

Both nodes share common execution input pins for dynamic control during the typing process:

Input Pin	Purpose
Pause	Stops the animation at the current position.
Continue	Resumes the animation from the paused position.
Restart	Resets the animation and begins typing the text from the start.
Skip	Immediately completes the typing animation, displaying the full text.
Stop	Halts the animation and resets all internal state.
