Hey guys.
Could anyone help me to find a solution to procedural typewriting animation?
I need to create line of specific text which would type one character after another and start over and over when finished.
I thought this will be easy job, but it become real torture for me now ...

You could activate 'text attributes' on the font node and append a primitive wrangle which removes primitives based on their textindex number versus the time frame.

int num = nuniqueval(0, 'prim', 'textindex');
int frame = int(@Frame*0.25 % num);
if(frame < i@textindex){
    removeprim(0, i@primnum, 1);
}
