# Writing Custom Typing Waits (C#)

By using “Text Animator for Unity” you can create your own **custom typewriter waits**, setting different types of delays between letters and much more.

## Adding Custom Typewriter Waits <a href="#adding-custom-typewriters" id="adding-custom-typewriters"></a>

In order to create a custom typewriter wait  you need to to create a Scriptable Object class that inherits from `Febucci.TextAnimatorForUnity.TypingsTimingsScriptableBase`

Here is a simple example script:

<pre class="language-csharp"><code class="lang-csharp">// import the necessary Febucci namespaces
<strong>using Febucci.TextAnimatorCore;
</strong><strong>using Febucci.TextAnimatorCore.Text;
</strong><strong>using Febucci.TextAnimatorForUnity;
</strong>
using UnityEngine;

[System.Serializable] // &#x3C;--- remember to serialize your scriptables!
[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "Custom Typewriter Waits")]
<strong>class CustomTypingWaits : TypingsTimingsScriptableBase
</strong>{
    // --- put your properties here as normal
    [SerializeField] float delay = .1f;
    
    // custom waits when showing text
<strong>    public override float GetWaitAppearanceTimeOf(CharacterData character, TextAnimator animator)
</strong>    {
        // example: skips spaces
        if (char.IsWhiteSpace(character.info.character))
            return 0;

        return delay;
    }

    // custom waits when disappearing text
<strong>    public override float GetWaitDisappearanceTimeOf(CharacterData character, TextAnimator animator)
</strong>    {
        // in this case, it's the same as appearances
        return GetWaitAppearanceTimeOf(character, animator);
    }
}
</code></pre>

That’s it!&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Don’t forget to create the scriptable object in your assets folder, and to assign it to your Typewriter component. Read more here: [show-and-hide-letters-dynamically](https://docs.febucci.com/text-animator-unity/typewriter/show-and-hide-letters-dynamically "mention")

Have fun implementing your own typewriters <3
