Probably a stupid question but as the title suggests are both necessary for custom text,
CreateText()
SetTextString()
??
I saw there was a command called
SetTextDefaultFontImage()
, just wondering if there might be an easier way to set it up than creating it for each new text object ? Perhaps someone could provide a small example..
Thanks in advance here is the current code. I have also provided a small gif of it in action for now they both use the same images for text but this could change in the future.
