Amazing new typewrite script --

[Hblade]

Hello everyone! Me again. So I made a text script that allows color changing in mid string, waving text, and even Icon Drawings!

UPDATE 1:
Added Bold, Italic, or Both to the script.

Code: Select all

[b] [/b]: Bold
[i] [/i]: Italic
[bi] [/bi]: Both


HOW TO USE:

Merge the .ged file included in the zip with your game, make sure first that there are no duplicate variables.

Check View's draw actor before merging -- has the part that handles the text for the demo.

Code: Select all

type("You can have up to 5 [n]different icons on the screen.", 14, 24);

14=Letter Spacing X
24 = Letter Spacing Y

You can also use the instant text method:

Code: Select all

type_instant("[w]So [c1]Enjoy [c2]The [c3]Script[c0]![/w] ", 14, 24);

FUNCTIONS:

[c1] through [c7]: Change colors based on settings (Open global code and look in "write" section to change settings)
[c0]: Default Color

[i1] - [i5]: Draw icon based on settings.

[n] - Make a new line of text. (Like \n).

[w] - Wavey Text
[/w] - Ends wavey text

[s0] - [s2]: Slow mode, normal mode, default_mode

BUGS:
placing 2 types of codes next to each other will result in second one probably working, but showing up in the text.
Ending the string with a finishing part of a code will result in the final letter being displayed as the default text unless changed.

I'll take a look, thanks for offering the clever Text code HBlade!
What other new projects are you working on, video game related?

1: Orbito (Awesome game)

2: Possibly a game called Bean Warriors, idea is ... well we'll get there later

Cool, have fun creating them! Where can we play them if they're ready? Or see progress?

I'll likely post progress here on game-editor forums

Sounds good, thanks H_Blade.
