text/font

[Raelyn]

What's the best way to display text at x,y? And can the font/size/color be modified?

[calum]

NPC Code:

---

//to show the text-

showtext index,x,y,font,style,text;



//to change the size-

changeimgvis index,drawingheight; 



//to change the colour-

changeimgcolors index,red,green,blue,alpha;

---

Next time have a look at the newfeatures!

Sorry. You know, they should really stop making the new features things and just add them to npcprogramming.txt

Btw, it's drawing behind showimg, is there any way to draw it on top, and is it shown differently for each client?

Thank you.

Very wrong. That changes the drawing layer, not the text size.

NPC Code:

---

changeimgzoom index,zoom;

---

Changes the text size.

Ahh, drawing layer, thanks.

I was unaware that changeimg stuff worked for showtext. As a matter of fact, I coulda swore showtext existed but I couldn't find it in commands.

As most commands are added, they are listed in the newfeatures.txt

There will be a comprehensive docu whenever the new engine comes out.

Yes, so look forward to late 2005.
