right now I have managed to output texts on Rich TextLable using Json on Godot Engine, and projecting a letter using Visible Characters and Timer Node. However, I could not control variables of texts to my liking.

I heard that you can put a delay on output speed or have them pause for a bit until theres an external inputs (such as mouse clicks) using certain tags inside texts on Renpy, Love2D or RPGMaker (for example putting /! or /. in RPGMaker) but I have not found such function on Godot Engine

Is there any other way to pull this off other than using external plugins?

iam for example use process part on text element:
var quest_text = "iam quest text" var draw_speed = 5 var text_count = 0 func _process(delta): if text_count < quest_text.length(): text += quest_text.substr(text_count, draw_speed) text_count += draw_speed

with draw_speed you can control text draw speed.
