Input text prompt to fit in xmaximum

[Kinmoku]

Hi all,

I'm stress-testing my game and noticed that, if the player inputs a very long one word into the input prompt, it overflows out of the box (see image). However, the input works as desired when typical text (with spaces) is written, going to multiple lines and fitting within the box.

This is kind of a non issue, but no doubt some player will spot it and think it's messy. Is there a way to get the input text to wrap (even if it's one long word)?

My code:

Code: Select all

    frame:
        background None
        xpos 582
        ypos 442

        xmaximum 760
        ymaximum 160

        input id "quote" default "" caret theme_image("caret") changed quote_change length 80 exclude "{}" color get_primary() xmaximum 760 ymaximum 160

I don't think RenPy has support for individual word wrap.
You could detect long words in changed function and insert zero-width space symbol to break it up.

Ah, that makes sense.

I'm not quite sure what you mean.

You can detect ling words and break them apart with this character to allow word-wrap to apply to them.
