Well, it took me about 10 minutes to come up with an idea and 10 minutes to finish it. Feel free to use it in your map or suggest some better way of doing it. But take notice that you need to change the integer amounts for how many characters are in the string. I'm not sure why, but making the counter 20 instead of 22 made it work properly. So I guess you have to minus 2 from the total amount of characters in your string too.
Globals:
string[]
counter[]
//string[1]=This is a simple test.

Code:

Text Display
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 22, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                For each (Integer B) from 2 to 22, do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                counter[1] Less than or equal to 20
                            Then - Actions
                                Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for (All players)
                                Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: (Substring(text[1], (Integer A), (Integer B)))
                                Wait 0.50 seconds
                                Set counter[1] = (counter[1] + 1)
                            Else - Actions
                                Do nothing

Could someone possibly move this to the Repository after suggestions have been made to it?
