Using {p1} as shorthand for {w=0.5}?

[Zodai]

As {w=0.5}, and additionally {w=0.25} are honestly quite tedious to write multiple times over in the making of a game - as a result, I have been trying to code in {p1} as shorthand equal to {w=0.5}, and {p2} as shorthand to {w=0.25}, but I have been unable to find anything on this subject.

Could I get some help?

There isn't an easy way to add your own text tags that function. (As opposed to updating style information.)

What you can do is define a variable:

Code: Select all

define p1 = "{w=0.5}"

and substitute it in:

Code: Select all

"This is a [p1]short pause."

Which should give a similar effect, and be easier to type. (But you do have to remember to use the square brackets.)

EDIT: Opps, did not notice PyTom's 2nd part.

You can however, use a variable to store text tag. Something like:

Code: Select all

$p1="{w=0.5}"
mc "I [p1] think [p1] I [p1] am [p1] stu[p1]tter[p1]ing"

Note that the bracket is the square one []. This is because it's a variable substitution.

Ah; that should help. Thanks!

There's one more release-related bug I seem to be encountering in the Alpha builds; but I'll see you in another thread for that :3
