TextMeshPro - show next page

Unity Engine
1

Hello, I’m using TextMeshPro (UI) with the overflow setting of “Page”.

I’m just trying to figure out how to make it show the next page of content, when I click a button.

It seems like a simple thing but I’ve been unable to find any examples at all. I’ve found “textInfo.pageCount” which tells me the total number of pages, but that’s all I have at the moment.

Update: I’ve found that TMP has a “pageToDisplay” variable, making this easy. All good.

Hey PoRtCuLLiS,

I’m working on a similar project and have just discovered the “Page” overflow setting.

I’ve been trying to make a simple script to attach to a button to advance the page similar to the old videos. Using the two variables you list above can you provide some guidance on how to use those in a script? I’ve been having trouble with trying to reference them properly.

Something like this

TextMeshProUGUI smstext;
int currentpage = 1;

public void ButtonNextPage()
{
        int totalpages = smstext.textInfo.pageCount;   

        if (currentpage < totalpages)
        {
            currentpage++;
            smstext.pageToDisplay++;
        }
}

How can we go to the next page automatically once the last character on the page is typed?
