Text to Screen

[Char Norlien]

Is it possible to write text to screen from a script file?

[architech]

YES, you can.

The script might look something like this .....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

dtext
30,30
9
0
test me


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This will default to the current text syle, of course....
You might want to add the style command ...
See below for an example....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-style
romand
romand.shx
0
.9
0
n
n
n
dtext
30,30
.9
0
test me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

..... something like that .... hope that helps ... :mrgreen:

Someone just tried this and it doesn't work. :oops:

Architech,

I thought it would work too! Until I tried it. After some investigating I found:

"dtext" command *does not* work in scripts.
"text" command *does* work in scripts
to get the same effect as dtext, use 2 blank lines (2 returns) between lines of text.

Hope this helps!
