//How to Use
//Add this script to GUITEXT

public class autoType : MonoBehaviour {

	//speed
	public float letterPause = 0.1f;
	//public AudioClip sound;

	//declare stanzas
	string stanza,stanza2,stanza3,stanza4;
	int where;
	
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		//put sentences here
		stanza = "THIS IS IT";
		stanza2 = "new Message";
		stanza3 = "hello World";
		stanza4 = "next stanza";
	}

	void Update()
	{
		//start auto type
		SetText(stanza);
		//condition to change
		if(where == 1)
		{
			stanza = "";
			stanza = stanza2;
		}
		if(where == 2)
		{
			stanza = "";
			stanza = stanza3;
		}
		if(where == 3)
		{
			stanza = "";
			stanza = stanza4;
		}

	}
	
	IEnumerator TypeText () {
		foreach (char letter in stanza.ToCharArray()) {
			guiText.text += letter;
			yield return 0;
			yield return new WaitForSeconds (letterPause);
		}
		//new stanza condition
		where++;
		Debug.Log (where);
	}
	void SetText(string text)
	{
		//StopCoroutine("TypeText");
		stanza = text;
		guiText.text = "";
		StartCoroutine("TypeText");
	}
}

As the title says, the text does not change to the next stanza.

this will work, but it’s not very friendly with the garbage collector - string concatenation, foreach, etc. but i’m guessing that getting it working is the most important to you right now :wink:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

 public class AutoType : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float LetterPause = 0.1f;

    private bool _textFinished;
    private int _textIndex;
    private string[] _stanzas;

    public void Start()
    {
        _stanzas = new []{ "THIS IS IT", "new Message", "hello world", "next stanza", "you're welcome!" };

        _textFinished = true;
        _textIndex = -1;
    }

    public void Update()
    {
        if (_textFinished)
        {
            if (_textIndex++ >= (_stanzas.Length - 1))
            {
                _textIndex = 0;
            }

            SetText(_stanzas[_textIndex]);
        }
    }

    private IEnumerator TypeText(float waitTime, string text)
    {
        _textFinished = false;

        guiText.text = "";

        foreach (var letter in text)
        {
            guiText.text += letter;

            yield return new WaitForSeconds (waitTime);
        }

        _textFinished = true;
    }

    private void SetText(string text)
    {
        StartCoroutine(TypeText(LetterPause, text));
    }

    public void OnGUI()
    {
        GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 150, 100), "Text:" + guiText.text);
    }
}
