Hello there, I’m kinda new to game development and came up with some problems.
Here I am making a Custom Editor script that allows me to bring up some textAreas where I can write a message (split into several parts) that will later appear in-game when interacting with a sign.
First problem: In line 41, by using calcHeight, I’m trying to limit the max characters I can put into a message(textArea) so it doesn’t get out of the box inside which they will be shown in-game, but it doesn’t seem to be working as I expected (cutting by height) since it is just cutting the last line in some “random” width.
As shown in this image.
Second problem: When I reach the max characters it calculates will fit in the box, maxChars() will return false and it won’t let me write anymore (through numChars[ ]). BUT, if I go backwards in the message I’m writing and write in the middle of the string, I will be able to go on writing until the pointer reaches the limit.
I don’t know if this is a problem of my implementation or of the textArea’s managing of maxLenght.
Sorry if you find some noobie-ness and thanks in advance.
