  Natural type-on expression

  Posted by Sher Safi on February 12, 2018 at 8:37 am

  I am very new to expressions. I looked over the internet and found an expression that helps me write a text with a Blinking cursor, which works perfectly. the only issue here is that the expression types the text in a constant speed. what I want is to have a “Natural type-on” effect; meaning I want to achieve a more human typing effect by varying the animation speed to random. is there a way to do it in the expression?!

  ***Type-on with blinking cursor (expression):

  L = text.sourceText.length;
  T = time*effect("Speed")("Slider") - effect("Start At")("Slider")*effect("Speed")("Slider");
  F = Math.round(time % 1);

  if(F == 1 | (T0) ){Fl = "|";}else{Fl=" ";}

  substr(0,T) + Fl
