I'm making a level, and would like to put some text into the level (Like into the signs)

Problem is:

HOW DO YOU DO IT??



Chris

First, find the tile(s?) you want to place the text event on. When you go on this tile, text will appear.
Place the event "Text" in Gameplay: Triggers and Scenery.
If this is your first Text event, leave the paremeter alone for now.
Go into Tools: Level Properties.
Click on the top bit of the white box below "Help Strings" once, wait about a second, then click it again. Type what you want the text to say. To add an enter, press @. # will make all text after it rainbow.
For the second text, assuming you want it to say something different, place the text event again, only set TextID to 1. Then go into Tools: Level Properties and edit the Second line of help strings, the one with 1 on it. See the connection? TextID 2 shows you Help String 2, etc. You can have multiple text events displaying the same help string.

Thanks for the help, guys! I appeciat it!

i was trying to make the text rainbow-y once... by using the | to change the colours. it didn't work.

Is there any way to change the text to a single colour? I.e. a section of the text is red, another section is green, then a hooj bit is blue, etc. or is the only option rainbow-y? And can you turn the rainbow-y-ness off?

The | dosen't save a special color change, they count as an invinselbel charather, so pull them in front of each letter you have until the letter is in the right color:
||||||||M|||||||o|||||||o||||||||n
(If it was the first, all letters should now proably be green, but they will have same color)

Hmm I thought you had to put @@@@@ (5x@) first or somethin and then the | stuff, I never tryed it, someone just told me.

Might be, but I thought this post is in the wrong forum?

'tis a good point. isn't there a forum for jcs troubleshooting, or whatever?
