getlines() not returning

The functions getlines() and getlinecount() are returning nothing but when I do something else like gettext() it returns correctly.
This is all in a for loop when displaying messages

PHP Code:


		
			
echo(("Message_"@temp.i).getlines());

echo(("Message_"@temp.i).getlinecount());

echo(("Message_"@temp.i).gettext());//only one to work

Another thing I tried to do

PHP Code:


		
			
this.trueSize = thiso.catchevent(this, "onReflow", "onTest");

PHP Code:


		
			
function onTest(temp.obj, newwidth, newheight){

  echo(temp.obj.getlinecount()); //does echo correctly

  return temp.obj.getlinecount();

}

but then back in the for loop this just doesnt echo anything

PHP Code:


		
			
echo((@"Message_"@temp.i).trueSize);

What I'm trying to do is get the amount of lines there are in the text control so I can adjust the y position for the next message.

Might it be that the string isn't coercing in to an object?

You could try something on the lines of:

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.obj = makevar("Message_" @ temp.i);

echo(temp.obj.getLines());

Still doesn't seem to work.

It seems this is just the behaviour when echo'ing an array rather than a string.

For example it outputs the line count if I do:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo(("Message_"@temp.i).getlines().size());

//13

//13

//13

You can coerce the array to a string by doing:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo(@ ("Message_"@temp.i).getlines());

//ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH

//ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH

//ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH,ASDFGH

I tried doing what you did and got zeros like before. I seem to have bad luck with this, or I just screwed up somewhere in the script. :(

This is the part where it seems to be messing up, if anyone can see anything wrong.

PHP Code:


		
			
    for(temp.i = 0; temp.i < temp.messageSize; temp.i++){



        new GuiMLTextCtrl("Message_" @ temp.i){

          useownprofile      = true;

          profile.modal      = false;

          profile.fonttype   = "Arial";

          profile.fontsize   = 20;

          profile.fontcolor  = temp.textFormat ? "black" : "white";



          profile.textshadow  = true;

          profile.shadowcolor = "black";



          allowedtags = (temp.fromstaff ? {"img", "b", "font", "center"} : {"b", "img"});

             

          alpha = temp.textFormat ? 0.3 : 1.0;

          visible = true;

          resize(50, temp.y, 330, 20);



          //addtext(temp.message, true);

          text = temp.message;

          //thiso.catchevent(this, "onReflow", "onTest");

        }





        temp.obj = makevar("Message_" @ temp.i);

        temp.lines = (@("Message_" @ temp.i).getLines());

        echo(temp.lines); //echos nothing

            

            

        temp.chat_height = temp.lines <= 0 ? 25 : temp.lines * 25;

        temp.y += temp.chat_height;



      }

Only other way I can think of fixing is getting the width of text and then getting the amount of lines by dividing the text width by Gui width.

The problem seems to be something else, lines are being echo'd fine for me when I do:

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.messageSize = 3;

for(temp.i = 0; temp.i < temp.messageSize; temp.i++){

  

  new GuiMLTextCtrl("Message_" @ temp.i){

    useownprofile      = true;

    profile.modal      = false;

    profile.fonttype   = "Arial";

    profile.fontsize   = 20;

    profile.fontcolor  = temp.textFormat ? "black" : "white";

    

    profile.textshadow  = true;

    profile.shadowcolor = "black";

    

    allowedtags = (temp.fromstaff ? {"img", "b", "font", "center"} : {"b", "img"});

    

    alpha = temp.textFormat ? 0.3 : 1.0;

    visible = true;

    resize(50, temp.y, 100, 20);

    

    text = "asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf ";

  }

  

  

  echo(@("Message_" @ temp.i).getlines());

  

  

  temp.chat_height = temp.lines <= 0 ? 25 : temp.lines * 25;

  temp.y += temp.chat_height;

  

}

Renders 2 "asdf" per line, echo's:

Quote:

"asdf asdf","asdf asdf","asdf asdf","asdf asdf"
"asdf asdf","asdf asdf","asdf asdf","asdf asdf"
"asdf asdf","asdf asdf","asdf asdf","asdf asdf"

Looks like code from the iOS PM system...? Correct me if I'm wrong

Replace

HTML Code:

        temp.obj = makevar("Message_" @ temp.i); 

        temp.lines = (@("Message_" @ temp.i).getLines()); 

        echo(temp.lines); //echos nothing

with

HTML Code:

        temp.lines = (@("Message_" @ temp.i)).getLines(); 

        echo(temp.lines);

It is, he works on Delteria IOS and is working on the PM Threading System. I added a temporary fix, because I could not get the lines to work either, So i did.

PHP Code:


		
			
  temp.lines = wraptext2(200,12/24," -","@Arial@@" @ temp.rawmessage);        
  temp.linecount = temp.lines.size();

But I will try your method as it would be more accurate.
