Auto Resizing Text

[XiLe]

There is obviously no way to shrink text automatically (or at least Loriel said)

I came up with this script, but it doesn't seem to want to work. I tried it with for at first, and when it wouldn't work I tried the while, which just happened to refuse. I reconnected a few times, disconnected and /npcstarted up my NPC Server (couldnt do it with cpanel, it wont work) and it still doesnt work.. any ideas?

function showweap() {
wraptext2 97,.5,@Verdana@b,#w;
i=.5;
// for (i=.5; !strequals(#w,#t(0)); i-=.01 {
while (!strequals(#w,#t(0))) {
i-=.1;
wraptext2 97,i,@Verdana@b,#w;
}
showtext 506,3,1,Verdana,b,#t(0);
changeimgvis 506,8;
changeimgzoom 506,i;
// }
timeout=.05;
}

Meh, I cannot see what you are trying to do

I got it working... I was attempting to make the text fit into a small box. For example, on kingdoms when your experience goes from 5 digits to 6, the text shrinks to fit it. It turns out that my NPC-Server is fussy and I had to take out the comments for some reason, then it worked...

NPC Code:

---

if (strlen(#s(some.string))>5) changeimgzoom index,0.6;

I wanted to go a bit more in depth than that lol. Some characters as you probably know take more width than others... example are "Z" compared to "|" I made it so that it goes through various zooms starting at .5 and going down until it just fits the stuff on the screen.

If I'm not completly wrong, you can use textheight() to calculate that?

I believe you're thinking of textwidth().

BTW I suggested that and textheight to Stefan. I'm so flattered.

As well as me, there's 3. Anyone else want to prove him wrong?

From newfeatures:

- new scripting function:
textheight(zoom,font,style) calculates
the height of text displayed with the
given zoom factor, font name and style;
textheight(1,,) gives the height of
the standard font used for showimg/showtext;
the style is a string with the letters
b (bold), or i (italic), the other styles
don't really make sense - the font name
and font style are generaly not influencing
the height a lot

textheight calculates the HEIGHT of the text. XiLe is trying to calulate the WIDTH of the text.
