Typewriter Lite (free) - Dialogue Text for Godot 4

Dialogue text that types itself, for Godot 4. Each letter rises and fades in, with a natural rhythm: a breath after every sentence and comma. One node, one line. Free, MIT licence.

$Dialogue.show_text("Hello there... [pause=0.5]Welcome!")

What it does

• Letter by letter, each one rising and fading in.
• Natural rhythm: short pauses after . ! ? and , ; :, not inside "...".
• Timing in the text: [pause=0.5] and [speed=0.4]...[/speed].
• Skip on click and a typing_finished signal.
• A normal RichTextLabel: your fonts, theme and BBCode keep working.

Quick start

1. Copy addons/almios_typewriter into your project.

2. Add a TypewriterLabel node.

3. Call show_text(), and skip() when the player clicks during a line.

Compatibility

Godot 4.3 and newer, tested on 4.3 and 4.7. Forward+, Mobile and Compatibility renderers, desktop and web.
