| Ok, I'm making a message system for a game, but I'm facing some problems. How do I do correct multi line text based on the width of the window? I don't want my string to keep going to the right when using the Text command. When it reaches the end of the window then start a new line and continue where I left of. |

| Make a format function, which formats a string (strings can be any length) to any given width and - auto wraps words - puts a whole word on a new line when it doesn't fit the line anymore You could do something like that with a bank, the banksize is the givin width of a line * the amount of lines it will eventually take. Naturally you start with 1 line, and when a new line needs to be created you resize the bank again. When you're done, use this bank to read the chars from and build-up the screen. example: bank=FormatText$(txt$,width) and: Drawtext(bank) |
