This is a small script I use to make tutorials and bug reports. Feel free to use it in your own videos.
The script makes a label to cycle between sublabels, and shows the text with a small animation.
Note: the script is very simple, I could have make it more complex making it to auto configure itself, but instead I leave it small and commented it in case you want to learn a bit from it.
The video shows the recommended configuration
Disclaimer: the part where I almost deleted the custom font and even choosed a wrong one wasn’t intended. 😅

Yes, sorry. I was too short on my answer 😛
In fact this script is very old, I can’t remember when I made it but if you look my showcasing script videos I’m sure you will find it in almost all of them. (The script even use the set/getTag without an extra argument! )
But, nobody asked for it until today, when Colin did so.
And here it is!
