Textbox exceeding screen limit?

#1 Post by Nanahs »

My project is 720x1280.

In a screen like:

Code: Select all

screen day1:
    
    text "[imput text]." size 25 xpos 30 ypos 1105 
The text is exceeding the screen limit (horizontal).
Is there a way I can put a limit, so that the text won't do this?

This screen is showing an imput text a let the player write.

Thanks.

One way would be to place the input in a container and give the container an xmaximum
A "fixed" or "hbox" or "vbox" etc should work

Something like this

Code: Select all

screen day1():
    fixed:
        xmaximum 500

        text "[input text]." size 25 xpos 30 ypos 1105
This would limit the text width to 500 pixels. If the text exceeds this limit, it will split onto a new line.

It worked. Thank you!
