Problem with automatic line break and text flow

[StarCloud]

I don't know if I do something wrong or if it just is like that.
Sometimes the text awkwardly stops and goes to the next line.



It writes "para" and then it removes "para" and continues at the second line.




This is how I draw the string:

Code: Select all

currentTextString="Have you tried a \"Mindbreaker\" yet? This parasite was recently discovered.";
font.draw(batch, currentTextString.substring(0, (int)textDrawLength), 0,0, 663,Align.left,true);

I increase the text flow:

Code: Select all

 if ((int)textDrawLength < currentTextString.length())
    {
        textDrawLength+=(0.5f*TEXTSPEED);
    }           
   

It's not a big deal breaker, just looks a little weird.

How do you expect it to know that 'para' will change into 'parasite' or whatever else? It just fits whatever it has right now.

Perhaps this will be a better choice, if you are already not using it https://github.com/rafaskb/typing-label

Yeah thats what I ment, if there is a way so it knows that the word is too long too display and instead draws it on the next line.
I checked the link but I already am confused at the installation

Open build.gradle in project root and add this to the ext section under allprojects:

I don't know how to open build.gradle, do I need another software? I will check into this.

It should open with any "normal" text editor. IntelliJ by default should open it just fine. You may have to assign your computer of choice to open the document with a specific text editor, assuming you do not use an IDE, like IntelliJ. However, I wouldn't use a "normal" text editor unless you know it will handle your code fine. Certain things, like WordPad, can un-intentionally break code.

I added this code in my build.gradle file, but what am I suppose to do now?
If I try to use

Code: Select all

TypingLabel label = new TypingLabel("Hello world!", skin);

It can't find the class. Do I have to download this files and put them in my project?



Whatever, I just do it manuelly and put \n everywhere it looks weird.
