wraptext

[xXziroXx]

How can I use wraptext/wraptext2 so that it DOESNT cut words in half when wrapping?

I used this in gs1:

PHP Code:

wraptext 40,,#c; 


.. and it didnt cut the text. However, when I converted it to gs2:

PHP Code:

tokens = wraptext(40, "", player.chat); 


.. it started cutting the text in half.

Instead of this:

Ebenezer unexpectedly bagged two tranquil aardvarks with his jiffy vacuum cleaner.

It would be something like this:

Ebenezer unexpectedly bagged
two tranquil aardvarks
with his jiffy vacuum cleaner.

It's like typing in Word. If your sentance/word gets too long then it moves part of it to the next line.

Chat?

In this case, yes.

PHP Code:

font = "verdana";
style = "";
fontsize = $pref::graal::defaultfontsize/gettextheight(1,font,style);
tokens = wraptext2(40,fontsize," ",font @ "@" @ style @ "@" @ player.chat); 


This will most accurately split at words and fit into your space. $pref::graal::defaultfontsize is a placeholder for the height in pixels of how tall you want the text to be. Change to your liking.

I actually have never used $pref vars untill now.. however, now it doesnt wrap the text at all.

[Tolnaftate2004]

Works for me. If you're using that code, you may want to give the variables a prefix. That could be why it's messing up.

Im scripting it in a gani, so I might aswell post the entire code here since it will be downloaded for everyone.

PHP Code:

Yes?

And Tolnaftate2004 (or anyone else), if you can get the gani to work with the wraptext2 that you showed me, Id appriciate it. If not, I will have to make my own wraptext function.

[xXziroXx]

Not anyone who can help?

[xXziroXx]

*bumps* last attempt to get a wraptext expert, otherwise I will make my own function that will wrap the text.

Added some description at http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Crea...lient#Graal_2D

You must specify the number of pixels (more than 40) and the zoom factor, which should match the zoom factor of the showimg you are using to display the text.
