T2dTextObjects and "hideOverFlow
by Garrett Brown · in Torque Game Builder · 11/15/2007 (5:09 pm) · 0 replies
Hi,
Can anyone explain to me how/what the hideOverFlow parameter works for t2dTextObjects? In the documentation, it says:
"Whether or not text outside the object bounds should be hidden."
And I see that happening. My problem is that if I am creating a t2dTextObject from script (not from the editor), the object's lengths seems to only be the first letter or so. It cuts off the rest. I need my t2dTextObjects to collide with stuff, and the bounding boxes are always too short if created through script. I set hideOverFlow to true, then the Bounding Boxes are accurate at least, but then it cuts off the text. Anybody have this happen to them? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
