Can I pause and start the Typewriter effect by Script or Sequence Command?
*I'm using <Text animator> asset

It doesn't look like you can pause and resume Text Animator in the middle of typing out text, but I'd check with the developer.

You can definitely control the typewriter by including control tags in the text. (See Show and hide letters like a typewriter in the Text Animator documentation.)

To start Text Animator's typewriter manually, you can change its text content (if Use Easy Integration is ticked) or call the TextAnimatorPlayer's ShowText() method.

I recommend contacting the Text Animator dev if you have in-depth questions about Text Animator. He's a helpful guy.
