I want to to animate appearance of Label's text so that it looks like it is being typed in at the moment. I was wondering if there is a relatively easy way to do so in SWIFT. Thank you.
Try this:
class GameScene : SKScene {
let text = ["G", "a", "m", "e"]
var labelText = ""
let labelNode = SKLabelNode()
var calls : Int = 0
var timer : NSTimer!
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(YOUR_DESIRED_INTERVAL, target: self, selector: #selector(self.updateLabelText), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
labelNode.text = labelText
self.addChild(labelNode)
}
func updateLabelText() {
labelText += text[calls]
labelNode.text = labelText
calls += 1
if calls == text.count + 1 {
timer.invalidate()
}
}
