using UnityEngine.UI;

public class DynamicText : MonoBehaviour {

public string myString;
public Text Canvas;
private bool counter = true;
void OnTriggerEnter()
{
    StopCoroutine("AutoType");
    if (counter == true)
    {
        counter = false;
        Canvas.text = null;
        StartCoroutine("AutoType");
    }
}

IEnumerator AutoType()
{
    foreach (char letter in myString.ToCharArray())
    {
        Canvas.text += letter;
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
    }
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(10);
    Canvas.text = null;

}

The coroutine you reference in StopCouroutine must be the exact same reference as the one in StartCoroutine. Hence, you will need a variable to hold the coroutine in.

private IEnumerator myCoroutine;

void Start() {
    if (myCoroutine != null) {
        StopCoroutine(myCoroutine);
        myCoroutine = null;
    }

    myCoroutine = MyCoroutine();
    StartCoroutine(myCoroutine);
}

private IEnumerator MyCoroutine() {
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
         print ("blah");
         yield return null;
    }

    myCouroutine = null; // Reset your coroutine variable once coroutine is finished
}

I think you can refer that particular script by a “public scriptname other”,drag the gameobject the script is attached to in the inspector and use other.stopcoroutine(“coroutinename”) in the current script
