Hi everyone!
I’m trying to create a code scrolling/compiling vfx for an HUD effect, but i don’t know where to start 
I know some DATs basics, but i’m stuck at making it scroll, or even better would be like a typing effect.
Thanks in advance to everyone!
Use the textCOMP, it’s meant for display and has actual formatting options unlike DATs. You can just change the text parameter over time to make animations. To make it scroll, you could move the textCOMP inside a smaller containerCOMP, or you could pop lines off the top and add them to the bottom. Or there are lots of other ways but that might get you started.

Hello Ivan
Thanks and sorry for the late reply.
My intention was more to emulate like a text being typed, with each letter appearing one after another
here’s something to get you started, hope it helps. using an eval dat to specify the character list of a full set of text from another text dat and drive with speed and some noise:
