dynamically vertically center text

#1, z nicolas-dekaiseTuesday, 27. February, 16:18 hodinky 7 months ago

Hi everybody,

I've a cutscene with narration text, It's centered horizontally, no problem with that, but is there a way to center it vertically ?

My first idea was to hook a script to "setTextPosition" that will get the length of the string and roughly calculate how much I need to adapt the y position.

I tried to access ActiveTexts.CurrentText but it's always empty

Thanks in advance

You can try add a UI text element to your canvas where the narration text will be displayed. Ensure that the text element is set to "Center" alignment horizontally.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer

But I'm not sure I understand, I know how to use UI and Canvas in Unity, but I'm new in Visionaire Studio, and it seems to me that there's nothing like Canvas in Visionaire, am I wrong?

I think that was a bot who answered you. (there is a link inserted in the quote)

regarding centering the text:
If you look in the wiki for community made scripts there is an example for positioning texts.

possible solution:

function txtPos(text) if text.Owner.tableId == eGame then -- text is narration text -- Define the new text position on the screen text.Position = {x = game.WindowResolution.x/2 + game.ScrollPosition.x, y = game.WindowResolution.y/2 + game.ScrollPosition.y} return true end return false end registerHookFunction("setTextPosition", "txtPos")
