Hi, for ages now ive been trying to make a sucessfull rpg. however i really need to know how you can create a 'typewriter or scrolling text effect' in a dialogue box!!! im using TGF. up to now ive had to use animations to change the texts at certain times or use the string movement, coming into the frames from the bottoms to enter the box!!! PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!
PS no recommendations to buy MMF!, give me a solution to the problem using gamesfactory!!!
You need the String Parser object, A counter, and two strings. Give one string the text you want to typewrite, and leave the other one empty.
(I just typed out this, it probably won't work)
Every 10.00: Add 1 to counter
+ Set alterable string of second string to Left$( "String Parser", Alttext$( "String" ), Value( "Counter" ) ) or words to that effect
You don't need string parser, string parser splits up a string with a character.
Instead get 2 strings and a counter, in this example string2 is the one that typewrites, string is the one where you set the text to write.
Every 00"-10
- Set String2 to Left$(string$("String"),value("Counter"))
- Add 1 to counter
n/a
