Display fixed number of words in textbox at a time
Hi I have been trying to figure this out with no luck. I am receiving text from an API and sometimes the text is received with over 10 words and sometimes only one word. I would like to write a script that will only allow up to 3 words to be displayed at a time in a text box on screen.
Then after 2 seconds it will move to the next three words. If there is less than three words it will only display the remaining words. once it is finished I would like to call the API again to get more text. Can anyone help with this please?
I have been trying to create a lot of if statements but I am not sure how I would get the logic right? I think I might be overcomplicating this. Please help if there is an easier way. Thank you!
