Similar to when you are typing on iMessage or ######## and there are "Three dots" that indicate you are typing, I think it would be cool if this was installed into Roblox. Whenever someone was typing, you would be able to see that they are, instead of thinking if maybe they are just not paying attention or gone. Games this would ESPECIALLY help: -Trade Hangout -Adventure Games -Hangout Games -Sports Games -Roleplay Games Feel free to post if you think this is a good/bad idea!

Scriptable... Love breeds sacrifice... which in turn breeds hatred. Then you can know pain.

Support. At the same time people would see 3dots for ever with me as I will type stuff then delete it all and start over. This is my siggy, iggy, miggy, triggy, liggy, siggy. It's no biggy, just a siggy. Xd

good idea, but there should be an option to turn this off/on or an option to turn on typing bubbles for certain users you want to know if they're typing or not

Because it would be useless? I mean no point in doing that. But it is scriptable. Here is how you could make it. get when the player presses the chat key. When he presses it, copy and paste a surface GUI over his head. The surface GUI is a bubble with 3 dots. When the player presses ENTER the GUI gets destroyed. Easy. Love breeds sacrifice... which in turn breeds hatred. Then you can know pain.

Yeah. I might just create one for the fun of it and make it opensourced. And the three dots will animate sideways similar to on iMessage

I forgot to mention weld the surface GUI over the player's head. And the surface GUI is on an invisible brick so only the GUI renders. Love breeds sacrifice... which in turn breeds hatred. Then you can know pain.

Couldn't I just use a BillboardGUI?

Not sure what is the difference tbh. Just try both and see wich one is the best... Love breeds sacrifice... which in turn breeds hatred. Then you can know pain.

Even if it is scriptable, I still think it would be a nice addition so I know people aren't just staring at me blankly and are actually typing a message.
