is there a python script that makes a 3d text object counts up every second or let’s say every 25 frames

Well, at least have you tried planning that script? In other words, to come up with a step by step workflow, just to get programmers more interested in what you “want”, cause it seems like you’re not asking but demanding :stuck_out_tongue:

i made this with layer ipo, but this is tedious :frowning:

cycle through the first 50 frames

use the 7 segments text file if you want

I’ve got one , but it only works in 2.49 since the stupid python script links aren’t implemented in 2.5 yet

it’s attached. Based on 25 FPS frame rate - you can change the FPS to whatever you need.

ok, now we want a typing machine effect

like you give it a text like

“blender 123 … some text”

and it types it on the screen like this

“b”
“bl”
“ble”
… etc
each frame has a letter like that

another thing is a text scroller that get’s repeated

thanks man for the nice script!

concatenate the string with an index add based on the framerate.
// output = “”
// string “hello”
// index = currentframe % framerate

output = substr(0,index); // string from 0 to index

this should update on frame change .

Okay, I went ahead and did it for you -

Typewriter() is the function and you just put whatever you want to say in the parameter.
For example,

Typewriter("Hello
World!")

will output, in a typewriter sort of way,

Hello 
World!

okay, 3dGURU, now you owe me something :smiley:

cFrame had a “/” right before the “#” comment - fixed it.
try this one.

not working, and what is cFrame?

the download works fine for blender 2.49.2 (see frame 1-21)

and cFrame is the current frame -like I wrote in the comment next to it :stuck_out_tongue:

Here is my offering.
