Title: \n doesnt work in scripts?
Post by: ONoSixIsDown on 15 Nov 2005, 19:32:20

Well i finally got a pretty decent script for a cut-sceen going with two units talking to each other and stuff.

my only problem is that when i tried to add linebreaks using "\n"the same way i would use it in the "titletext" field in the effects part of triggers/waypoints, it wouldn't work.

heres an example

Quote

_cam = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]
_cam cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]

_cam camsettarget CO
_cam camsetrelpos [0,1,1.5]
_cam camcommit 0
@camcommitted _cam

titlecut ["Well to put it bluntly Jim, The top brass have decided to pull(....)
 

Quote

note that the above sentence fits on one line of code on the "xSQS-Edit" wizard deally.

Can someone please tell me how to start a new line after the word "pull"?

thanks

\n should work always works for me an example of how i use it

titletext ["blah blah\n blah blah blah", "plain down", 1]

maybe it only works on certain types of text as i usually use titletext in your example you are using titlecut maybe changing it to titletext may work

also i dont have a space between the last word and the \n so try that too

also are you using plain down ? or something else maybe that effects the command

not sure about any of those suggestions but worth trying maybe ?
