How can I have a typewriter and insert custom character names at the same time?

How do I…

I’m a complete newbie. I’ve been trying to create a typewriter and editable character names within a single line of dialogue, but I can’t seem to combine both elements at once. When I tried to add a custom name, I ended up making the typewriter effect disappear.

What is the expected result

I want the dialogue to have a normal typewriter animation when the game opens, along with the player’s name, which can be customized using an external string variable.

What is the actual result

Ensure the animation typewriter is not missing and that the custom player name does not conflict with the animation typewriter.

I thought this was a simple problem and didn’t need screenshots. But I’m weak at coding dialogue, so I’m asking for help here.

Hi - I just tried setting text at the beginning of the scene to “Hello “+playername+” How are you”
and it worked with the typewriter extension. where playername is a text variable
