at the moment I don't have a boolean to force STM to update so...
create a new jitter that does nothing (set strength to 0)
and include it at the start of strings to make STM force-update every frame.

this script isn't needed anymore for STM v1.11+! The default color value is animateable and there's a boolean to force text to update every frame.
