Questions & Answers

PS- Sorry for the title of the question.
So, i am trying to make a message box seen in rpgs and visual novels , i am working on Android platform and i have this script:

alt text

so what problem is , when i touch the gui on the screen , it skips the line “man,.” and everything that would come in between to the last one that is “i am getting late for the battle” So anyone got something i can do ? Thanx

Why not use an array, then cycle trough your lines when the touchCont is touched?

Edit : ok, here's an exemple (just to let you know i code in C# usually so the code might not be right but the algorythm is) :

var touchCont : GUITexture;
var line1 : GUIText;
var line2 : GUIText;
var line3 : GUIText;
var lines = new Array;
lines[0] = "man...";
lines[1] = "i am going to be late for the
battle";
var line : int = 0;

function FixdUpdate()
{
    for (var touch : Touch in Input.touches)
    {
      if (touchCont.HitTest(touch.position))
           line++;
    }
    AssignLine();
}

function AssignLine()
{
  var linetab = lines[line].split("
");
  for (var i = 0; i < linetab.length; i++)
   {
    if (i == 0)
     line1 = linetab*;*
 *if (i == 1)*
 _line2 = linetab*;*_
 _*if (i == 2)*_
 <em>_line3 = linetab*;*_</em>
 <em>_*}*_</em>
<em>_*}*_</em>
<em>_*```*_</em>

You’re overwriting the text later on. You have two for loops, both identical, and two if statements, both identical, so when one is true the other will be true. You assign to line1.text, and then assign again to line1.text immediately afterward. Did you mean to do the following?

line1.text = “man,.”;

line2.text = “i am going late for the”;
line3.text = “battle”;
