Game_Text: How do I make a line break Created 16 years ago2008-06-22 03:34:25 UTC by HLGenius

So...like I said in the title...How do I make a line break with a game_text entity?

Thanks in advance...

Simple. Type \n (or was it /n?) in the property field where you want to have a new line to begin.

So for example:

"This is line one.\nThis is line two."

Im not sure if you need to type space or not, so it could also be:

"This is line one. \n This is line two."

So try this all out, and one of them will work.

I believe you type /h/ or something
I fail to remember

Edit: MUZZEH
He's right and I'm wrong

as a programmer muzz you should know for certain it's \n, not /n

then again you're probably used to VbCrLf.

I don't use C++. \n is a C++ thingy.
There's no such thing as \n in VB though.

not just c++, nearly every language

No, cuz \n is not available in VB.NET. VB.NET's equilivent is vbCrLf, as you pointed out. The syntax in every programming might be different, the purpose is the same: creating a new line.

So, if you don't use C++, like me, then how would i know?

//is comment in AS3:) Or a divide operator offcourse:P

that's why i said nearly. \n is commonly recognised as the "new line" character, and is in perl, python, C/C++, java, PHP, and more.

fyi, VbCrLf is equivalent to \r\n, which is a carriage return and a line feed (the windows implementation of a newline). linux and OSX use just \n.

anyway, this is ridiculously off-topic, but 'tis okay because the question was answered already

I suggest making a new thread about this one...

No, we're done.
