Title: How to Add Another Line of Text?
Post by: Muzzle Flash on 06 Mar 2005, 22:01:16

Newbie here!  I have messed with the OFP editor for a couple of years and I am learning slowly. The question I have is, when I use triggers to produce text on the screen, I don't know how to add a second line of text, all I get is one huge line of text across the screen.  I though by adding a semi-colon would do it but it didn't, if anyone here can help me, that would be appreciated.

Try /n  or is it \n

One of those anyway.

..."This is the first line.\nThis is the second line."

the \n should do it
if not, try /n

Does anyone know if any of the other escape commands works in OFP. Like \t?

Nah, too lazy to boot up OFP. ;D

\t = tab

In C++ anyway.

\r\n = windows newline - which is why when you press enter it takes 2 bytes - or 2 characters if you see a textbox which has "You have X characters left..."

\n = newline

Just use \n..
