Hey everyone, if anyone could help me with the problem I’m having right now I’d greatly appreciate it.

Basically what I’m trying to do is make a horizontal scrolling textbox. I know that I can can use **hscroll** for this. But I’m having trouble with getting it to work exactly with a timer. Can someone lead me in the right direction of how to do this with sample code? Thanks in advance! 😑
