If in the text have any variable (ex. $test) que typewriter effect go print "$teste" and not your value set.

Any method for change this?

 

I need this typewriter print values too.

Answer 1

You can integrate the variable into the text before passing it to your typewriter widget like this:

<<set $name to "Johnny Thunder">>
<<set $sentence to "My name is " + $name +".">>
<<typewriter $sentence>>

 

Answer 2

The Typewriter Effect recipe in the Twine Cookbook is a very basic implementation of that effect.

You may want to switch to using the TypedJS Integration Module that can be found on the SugarCube 2 web-site instead, because that module does support story variables embedded within the marked plain text.
