So not sure if this is new or not, but this no longer seems to take account of text wrapping.

So if you set a maxwidth of text, and it wraps to two lines, then place another text using it's Y+TOTALHEIGHT parameters, the sedonc text string will appear on top of teh second line of the first one.

Also, swapping between windowed and fullscreen affects the max length, so if it's on the cusp it appears to flip - i.e. windowed it's overlapping, fullscreen it's not.

Probably not a bug - but mis use on knowing how to use


Explain further by a simple snippet or two showing the fault - once we see the fault in action, its better to resolve sure - but your not for showing your stuff are you

We still waiting for your 3D world editor that you keep promising us

So you want a multi line text - like Notepad or word editor?

Puzzler,

It may well be a misuse of the command, but I can't just lift little bits out of my code in 5 minutes. I'll see if I can show the issue in a seperate file, but can you calm the attitude?

Ok, so I did a little more testing after you said it worked, and it does, you're quite correct. The problem I had was the text was setting from a string which also contained a float calculation - which meant the length changed and I wasn't recalulating the positions every frame. My bad.
