T2D TextObject problem

by Alexandre Ribeiro de Sa · in Torque Game Builder · 05/19/2007 (11:21 pm) · 8 replies

Hi, I have a small problem with T2D text object (not the gui text object), if I write some text with special characters in level editor it works, but if I try to change the text in tgb script with object.text the text don't work...

Anyone know anything about this problem?!


Thanks

You need to replace the font with one that is not fixed to english characters only

Just realized that I didn't fully read the posting :-(

How are you sending the text to setText?
Any chance for a simple sample code?

Are you using the Torsion? You should be aware that Torsion doesn't support unicode.
You may use file IO and hold you strings in this files encoded in UTF-8.

Marc: 
object.texto = "isso nao e um teste";   // out: isso n[]o [] um teste
note A from nao has a "~", e has a "'"...
Igor:
I know, I read it in another topic, I'm using context to write my code now...

You get strange results )
I've use this approach to draw cyrillic symbols.
For example:
%this.test = new t2dTextObject() 
      {
         scenegraph = "scn011aScene";
         canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
         size = "200 50";
         text = "This is a text"; // changes next time
         font = "Arial";
         wordWrap = "0";
         hideOverflow = "1";
         textAlign = "Left";
         lineHeight = "50";
         aspectRatio = "1";
         lineSpacing = "0";
         characterSpacing = "0";
         autoSize = "1";
         fontSizes = "80";
         textColor = "1 1 1 1";
         hideOverlap = "0";
      };

and use:
%file = new FileObject();
   %file.OpenForRead("data/scenario/scn011a/quest/text/t1.txt");
   %file.readLine(); // junk from M$ UTF-8
   %loaded = %file.readLine();
   %this.test.text = %loaded;

Igor, read from file works :)
You know if can I use a XML file from tgb 1.5 beta too!?
