Hello!

I'm here now with my latest creation, function,
that lets you print text with many colours!



Here is the source code:



There is six escape sequences:

/| - new line
/r - red
/g - green
/b - blue
/y - yellow
/w - white

They are usable like this:

Code: Select all

print("/gThis is just/| /rexample /gline.", 100, 100);

Using code like this, it would print following text to position 100, 100.
This is just
example line.


At create actor event of view, there is function startupDef(7, 12);
It sets the characters to be 7 pixels away from each other in x axis and 12 pixels away from
other lines in y axis.

The .zip contains versions with and without typewriting effect.
I made the one without it for those who don't know so much about scripting for the typewriting codes
not to confuse those people.

It's all based on cloning the text actor and setting the clones
r, g and b values.


If there is something in the code you don't understand, but you want,
don't hesitate to ask me! I would be glad to help people understand this.

Give me feedback about it.

Nice man!

Wow great!

Thanks guys!
I wish that will be useful for someone.

Indeed nice !!!
And +1 for your hard work !!!

I realised that I have to make one update to this.
It doesn't currently seem so nice with normal fonts because the
distance between letters is always the same. I have to make it to change the position by the width of the letter. I hope someone understood that..

You better would !!!

Hmmm, it seems that you would be the pyrometal replacement to me.
He offered such great helps back then

I'm glad you may find it useful!
Wow, to be compared to pyrometal is really great honor for me!
I will work with that update as soon as possible!

That update seems to be quite difficult to make because it seems
like GE doesn't get text actors width and height right..

It's not the GE, but the font.
I prefer fixed width font anyway
It's easier to manage and estimate.

I like those fonts too, they are easier to work with.
But I think Ge really doesn't get the width and height right because I
tried to make the code set the characters (every of them is a clone) positions
according to the previous ones position and width and the current ones width.
It worked with some characters, but not with some other ones.

Amazing!!!
