How to display long text?

#1 Post by 1000bees »

So I'm trying to have a character say a lot of stuff at once, but the text just goes off the screen, like so:

Is there any way to get the textbox to expand upwards instead of this happening? I tried searching around, but couldn't find anything that worked.
Thanks!

I'am not a specialist of window frame dimension management so I can't give you the solution you want.

But an alternative solution will be to modify the size of the text itself with this simple code :

Code: Select all

Character "{size=-15} Your text here {/size}" 
In this exemple it will be 15 % smaller.
