Firstly, thanks for the nice feedback. Secondly this feature was made by my team member bluebloo (you can find more of her work here: https://itch.io/profile/bluebloo if you are interested) however I do understand how it works so I will do my best to explain it.


Firstly create an empty game object to hold the word that will float around. Next add an empty child object for each letter in your word and on these child objects add a TMP Text for the letter (you can find a 3D TMP text under the 3D Object section in the create menu).

Next comes the coding part, on your main parent object you will want to add two scripts, one that had it float off (this is just a movement script) and another one to trigger the animations on the letters.

For the animation triggering script you will want to add a reference to each child object with the TMP children on them. Then in a coroutine loop through all of the child objects triggering their little "jump" with a WaitForSeconds in the loop, this will give the wave effect you can see in game.

For the actual animation there are a few ways you can do it such as with an actual animation and animator or alternatively you can just write a script to move the letter up and down manually with a function and then trigger that function.

Sorry for such a long explanation, I hope it explains how to do the ribbit and if not then dont hesitate to ask any questions you may have.
