Question Color in a text issue

hello!
i hope someone can help me.
i have a like typewriter effect on my UI and on my text sometimes there is also a color tag, i'm actually checking for the "<" char to detect from where start but doesn't catch it, ii need to print it at one time, right now it will display the entire code untill is completed... any help?

 

I just got done solving this exact problem in my own project. I'll share my solution with you

How to use:

You need a TextMeshPro text object assigned. (TextMeshPro or TextMeshProUGUI). If you want to use normal UI Text, it should be pretty trivial to swap it out in the code.
Set the TextToDisplay property either from the inspector or through code.
Then call the Play() method to start displaying text.
You can set the speed with the "characterRate" field.
It works with Rich Text tags.

 

hello! thank's you for your reply.
actually i did a similar things but on the
nextChar == TAG_OPEN is not going to catch any '<' and when i try to debug with the log will display '<' as " "

 

Here was my attempt from earlier this year. See attached package.

You can enter the text into the field in the script, OR it will work on text already emplaced in a UI.Text object.

It would be easy to convert to TMPro, go nuts.
