How do you get a typwriter effect in Scratch?

Feel free to move this as i did not know where to post this.

OK, so I saw this project on Scratch a while back that had a typewriter effect in one of the say or think boxes. I have yet to find this project again and I would like to use this effect in an upcoming project. If anybody knows how to do this or a project that can show me it would be a big help. Thanks.

For some who don't know, the typewriter effect I saw typed one letter, then two, then three, in a sequence.

I've used it before

here's an example

*edit background*
H
*copy*
*editbackground2*
He
*copy*
*edit background 3*
Hel

and so on. then use a script to make it move

here's a script that i used for a project a while ago

You have to make a costume and add every single letter on so like:
T
*copy*
Th
*copy*

......

and so on.

Use the stamp effect and add every letter of the alphabet to a sprite.
