Before you post something like "Go look through forums, they should have your answer already" or "Look through youtube" or "google around", I have to tell you the truth... I already did that with a week, =/ Only 75% of the completed answer I look for is all I can find. Yes, 75%...
I know how to scroll the texts in different ways, except the 25% one which that's the missing piece... But first, I should let you guys know what did I know about the scrolling things before start questioning you about the missing 25% part.
First of all, I saw few topics / answers about this --> This simply required LEFT$(string, #) with the loop to increase the #... You will see what I mean once I start question you my real question soon, just for now to take a look. From start with 0%, this increase pretty little which it's not "exactly" what I want but nice to know about it though. Result: 10%
String$ AS STRING
NumberThat# AS INTEGER
DO
String$ = "The woman is making the breakfast for her children with the eggs and bacons. She places them on the plate and passes them to her children."
INC NumberThat#, 1
TEXT 50, 10, LEFT$(String$, NumberThat#)
SLEEP 50
LOOP
Next, the major scrolling text that scrolls from side to side, such as this (in the code box) as well as somewhere huge percent to increase the answer's results, 75%. This code box below is the one I want mostly, even though it have to be "DEC" instead (I copied somebody's example, to mind you)...
sync on
sync rate 50
rem sets up 3d environment
backdrop on
color backdrop rgb(0,0,0)
rem position and speed variables
x=-100
y=100
speed=2
rem main loop
do
rem increase variable 'x' by the value of speed
inc x,speed
rem position the text
text x,y,"Hello I'm Scrolling"
rem checks if its out of the screen and repositions it
if x>screen width() then x=-100
sync
loop
Now... See? I tried my best to look around to learn before post the question randomly but still, I can't find the one I really want, so I am posting this here. And also, I want to post the video to show you what I really want but they had fun to play around TOO FAST which no time for you to take a look, UNLESS you own the game called "Final Fantasy 13" which you should able to understand what I am about to tell.
Either you do own that game or not, I could just explain it out anyway... Here, the image to show you what it looks like.

Notice the top where it said "Help" and the texts next to it (right to it)??? My problem is up there... From my LEFT$ command's example, it's too longer sentence for the display (i already know the display size to change, I already chose 800 x 600 since it's just good enough to fit my whole computer's screen-height)... But in that FF13 game, it does scroll like the second codebox (moving text from side to side)... But the problem is this; When scrolling from THAT spot in that picture, the "Help" symbol (included "?" mark) are acting like to eat the text up while the rests that are outside of the screen are now revealing the complete sentence... Like this... (I am just sizing this as a LITTLE screen for this to start with)
Help: The woman is making the breakfast for her chi
(When scrolling-time starts activate to scroll, it goes like this in few seconds later)
Help: kfast for her children with the eggs and baco
(Continuing scrolling)
Help: gs and bacons. She places them on the plate a
(Still scrolling but finally last time)
Help: on the plate and passes them to her children.
Do you get what I mean? You don't see any remaining text in the left of that "Help" when scrolling... It just "eats" the letter to letter.
Anybody have a knowledge of the command / function (I might need this function much better though) for this missing-25% problem I am having this trouble to help? I would be so happy to know how to do it so because I really need it so badly for my RPG game (Yes I know, it's pretty HARD task... but it does not mean it's "impossible" to do, anyway)
Thank you for taking your time to read my whole post... Sorry if it's "too long",
P.S.: Yes yes yes, just don't ever bother me about my bad grammar. I have heard that like trillion times in every month (you DO know what I means). Just don't bother me about my grammar, please... This is not a fanfiction story, so don't get off the current subject unless you pretty hate my grammar which it's okay for you to leave anyway...
