Wraptext 2?
 

Wraptext 2, in GS1, I understand how it works.

Instead of tokens (gs1), can it read directly from the string you are wraptext2-ing now in GS2?

I need to wrap multiple strings (text), but I don't want to use the same tokens over and over again. (I'll show an example later if people are unclear of what I am talking about.)

I've got a HUD/GUI scripted in GS1 that works pretty well, I just can't go any further because I can't wrap but one string because it reads the wrapped text as tokens.

Are asking if 'wraptext2' in GS2 can return to something else other than tokens?

Assign the tokens to an array. Example:
I would suspect you'd do the same with wraptext and wraptext2.

Er, you're not getting what I am saying, I don't think. Either that, or I don't understand where you're getting at...

Anyways, The problem with using tokens for wraptext2 for what I am trying to script is I am doing this:

Wraptext2 this1string. (examples only)
Wraptext2 this2string.

I am trying to place this1string in a certain position (there's no set# of letters/pixels it will be.)

And I am trying to place this2string at another place. The problem with this is, with the for loop, it checks tokens [ for (this.i=0;this.i<tokenscount;this.i++) ] to display the text properly as well as wrap. I can get one string to wrap, but the second string shows up the same as the first, and there is no way that I can think of to determine the separate strings' token #'s.

Understand better now?

Anyways, I was informed that in GS2 the strings are set to arrays instead of tokens, so that they could be accessed better. (strlen i think? for the array in the foor loop.) so that it would display the correct text. True?

Ok, I think I know where you are getting at (correct me if I am wrong). You want to wrap the text of two separate strings, but want them put into separate string arrays? If so, GS2 makes that super easy.

Anyways, that would take String1 and String2, wrap their text and put it into 'tokens1' and 'tokens2', respectively.

Yes, this is what I was wanting confirmation on.

I had been told GS2 made it super easy because the problem had been ran into in the past.

So...now all I have to do is convert my whole GUI to GS2. :)
yay.

the only problem I am having now is trying to display it in a showtext.

NPC Code:

---

token1.wraptext2(760,1," ",client.questtitle);

token2.wraptext2(760,1," ",client.questtitle2);

---

and later ->

NPC Code:

---

  for(this.i = 0; this.i < token1.size(); this.i++){

         showtext(1,screenwidth/2-210,screenheight/2-80+(this.i*15),"Arial","B",token1[this.i]);

      

          changeimgvis(1,5);

          changeimgzoom(1,.6);

        }

---

That could be horribly wrong, but I don't know much about the whole object system and how I would access the text I've wrapped..

Also, index is set to 1 for testing purposes only. I haven't assigned it an index yet.

use:
instead of:

sorry for double posting, but I was wondering if there was a max amount of characters that could be held in a string? Or displayed using wraptext2 ?

It seems like it cuts out half of the string when it wraps the text.

Here are screenshots of my problem.

First SS:
Both strings display properly, but they aren't maxed out to where they would have to wrap and display both beginning of the string and end.
The string on top is:
client.questtitle=This is a test to see if all of the stuff is working right. aaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbb

Second SS:
The bottom string is still displaying properly, but when I add more text for the wraptext2 to wrap, it WRAPS the text correctly, but it takes away the text above it.

Portion I am using to display the text:

NPC Code:

---

//Displaying the First String.

        for(this.i = 0; this.i < token1.size(); this.i++){

         showtext(216,screenwidth/2-210,screenheight/2-80+(this.i*15),"Arial","B",token1[this.i]);

          changeimgvis(216,5);

          changeimgzoom(216,.6);

        }

//Displaying the Second String.

 for(this.j = 0; this.j < token2.size(); this.j++){

         showtext(217,screenwidth/2-210,screenheight/2-10+(this.j*15),"Arial","B",token2[this.j]);

          changeimgvis(217,5);

          changeimgzoom(217,.6);

        }

Would it be anything wrong with the way I am wraping the text?

NPC Code:

---

token1 = wraptext2(760,1," ",client.questtitle);

token2 = wraptext2(760,1," ",client.questtitle2);

---

The second param for wrapText2 is the zoom you are using.
(Yours isn't matching).

What is the syntax for the GS2 wraptext2?

From scriptfunctions_client.txt:
I would assume it's 'width','zoom','font','text'

I believe it's the same for old gscript....

I put it there :P.
