text

Hello guys! One thing that is a bit strange in GMS is when you use draw_text_ext and you want to wrap a word it doesn’t work properly if one word is longer ( in pixels) than the width of the text field. Fortunately, I got some help from one user and it works almost perfectly now with one...

I'm fairly new to GML, so this question may sound a little nooby. It's also my first post! :) So I've made a typer object which types out a string, letter by letter, which works fine. I've also made it so that when it detects a certain character, it does some kind of action. Like pausing or...

I learned how to print text a while ago. But I wanted to know how to print text one by one, so I watched the video, and I didn't understand. If you know how to print text one by one, could you tell me? I can only think of how to print one character after another.

I don't know what's going on here or if I'm the only one experiencing this. But usually, when I want to add a new line in a dialog text I would enter \n and the text would go to a new line. But recently, the \n just gets ignored. Is anyone else having this problem? For example, the dialog text...

I'm experimenting with drawing text to surfaces for the sake of optimization, but the text drawn to my surfaces appear weird. The characters are very thin with some letters even appearing to be missing small segments. I am drawing the text using a for loop; I've also noticed that looping the...

Hi, how can I make a text adapt its X and Y scale within a limited space? Because I tried to do it and I just can not. What should I do? draw_self(); draw_set_halign(fa_center); draw_set_font(fnt_pixelman); xt = x+lengthdir_x(15*image_xscale, image_angle+90); yt = y+lengthdir_y(15*image_yscale...

Hey there. I've been trying to wrap my head around this for ages now and I think I'm going crazy. I had something that *kinda* worked but I had to scrap it due to it taking up like 200 lines of code (I'm insanely tired). So what I'm trying to go for is a "tab bar" type of thing. Kinda like tabs...

I'm trying to make a title screen for my game, and the text won't show up. Here is the code. var c = c_yellow; switch(room) { case rm_start: draw_text_transformed_color(200, 100, "GAME_TITLE", 100, 100, 0, c, c, c, c, 1); break; } The game screen is 500 x 500 if that helps.
