"If you could get your string to something like a charArray you may be able to get the individual characters " This line from the code in the question itself does what you describe: GameText.GetComponent<Text>().text = GameText.GetComponent<Text>().text + text[i];, so this answer and commentary doesn't appear to add anything new. Try to focus on presenting new solutions not already in the question - for example, your idea of fading the canvas horizontally might be achievable through the use of masks.

I actually have a canvas with a text property as a component, that's how I'm accessing by GameText.GetComponent<Text>() GameText is variable of Canvas that holds the address of FindObjectOfType<Canvas>().

| Jan 31, 2017 at 18:00 | comment | added | DMGregory♦ | I think you may have misread the question. They have one method that make characters appear one at a time (jumping from absent to opaque), and one method that makes the whole text fade gradually as a unit. They've asked for a method that gradually fades a character at a time. Your horizontal fade is an interesting proposal in this regard - I'd recommend expanding on that, to demonstrate how it can be achieved. | |

| Jan 31, 2017 at 17:53 | comment | added | n_plum | I wasn't 100% sure because they said they have one that fades per character and one that does them all. I don't particularly know for sure, but you may be able to do per character fade with something like the canvas, if you did some sort of fade across, like horizontally. | |
| Jan 31, 2017 at 17:49 | comment | added | DMGregory♦ | All of these suggestions seem to fade the text as a whole, rather than one character at a time as requested in the question. Have I misunderstood? | |
