    what do you mean like scroll?
    you can pring last letter clear screen print last 2 letters clear screen print last 3 letters and so on...
    not sure if its a good idea, but it will surely work

    example

    what I want to do is to have each word appear individually, like on RPG games. I think it has somthiong to do with the string function. If you had a sentance to appear, I want it to sort of write it'self on the screen word by word rather than the whole thing appearing at once

    You would have to cause your program to sleep or delay in between printing each word you want to display. That sleep time might only be 200 milliseconds or something, but it would be enough to be noticable.

    Code:
    void Talk(char* string, int time)
    {
    	int len = strlen(string);
    	
    	for (int x = 0; x < len; x++)
    	{
    		std::cout << string[x];
    		Sleep(50);
    	}
    	
    	Sleep(time);
    }
    This is probally close to what you want. This loop sleeps between each character, however, not each word. I'll leave that up to you to figure out.
