RSCText Special question

[memphisbelle 99]

Hello everybody,

I´d like to ask about how can I realize a linebreak within a rsctext ressource? I already know that there´s a special define needed which has at first to be placed in the Description.ext and then in the subclass of the ressource, as shown in my example below.

Quote[/b] ]#define CT_STATIC 0

#define CT_LEFT 0

#define ST_CENTER 2

#define CT_STRUCTURED_TEXT  

class RscText

{

type = CT_STATIC;

idc = -1;

style = ST_CENTER;

h = 0.05;

colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 0};

colorText[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};

font = "Zeppelin33Italic";

sizeEx = 0.050;

};

class RscTitles{Titles[]={"Intro,...,..."};

class Intro

{

type = CT_STRUCTURED_TEXT

Idd= -1;

MovingEnable=False;

Duration=5;

FadeIn=1;

Name="Intro";

Controls[]={"Intro"};

class Intro : RscText

{

I already know the Wiki source: Wiki Ressource description.

I also located the linebreak desciption in the Wiki: _stxt3 = lineBreak

(located at:http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/lineBreak).

But I dont know how to handle that command like \n for titlecuts.

Intro is the respective ressource which shall display the Text with linebreaks. But how can I define the break and what the hell does ArmA means with:

Quote[/b] ]no entry/files/ArmA/missions/Missionname.Sara_dbe1/Intro.idd

Thanks for any help

use http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Dialog_Control#Structured_text

with type = CT_STATIC; you can't do this

[memphisbelle 99]

with type = CT_STATIC; you can't do this

Thanks for your reply.

The thing is that I have a bunch of text ressources which are defined in one single line only, can I nevertheless change the define to

type = CT_STRUCTURED_TEXT?

use http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Dialog_Control#Structured_text

What does it mean? Does it mean that I simply have to use <br/> within a line to break it into a second line?

But how its ment while using a stringtable.csv. Can I use the same there as well?

In the description:

Quote[/b] ]text = "$STR_myText";

and in the stringtable:

Quote[/b] ]STR_myText,"this line shall break<br/> right here","german translation",

(Currently I am on work, otherwise I would just test it out before asking)

OK, I tried it out and it doesnt work.

What do I have to do to define the structuredText Code within my Camscript? The Wiki is nice and it´s interesting to know what is possible to do, but HOW can I define the well described Commands within a camscript? The Wiki is not explaining that....

What do I mean?

RSCText --> definition in a script:  titleRsc ["Text or $STR_string" , "Plain"]

TitleText --> definition in a script: titlecut ["Text only String doesnt work" , "Plain"]

Structured Text --> definition in a script: "?"

from wiki:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class MyRscStructuredText {

idc = -1;

type = CT_STRUCTURED_TEXT; // defined constant

style = ST_LEFT; // defined constant

colorBackground[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1 };

x = 0.1; y = 0.1;

w = 0.3; h = 0.1;

size = 0.018;

text = "";

class Attributes {

 font = "TahomaB";

 color = "#000000";

 align = "center";

 valign = "middle";

 shadow = false;

 shadowColor = "#ff0000";

 size = "1";

};

};

CT_STRUCTURED_TEXT constant should be defined earlier:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

#define CT_STRUCTURED_TEXT 13

when you call it, take somehow pointer to control,

and you can write text with breaklines:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_control ctrlSetStructuredText (parseText "line1<br />line2");

for taking pointer to the control, you have to:

-idc must be some number (not -1), for example 100

-add property to class which contains MyStructuredText class:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

onLoad = "myDisplay = _this select 0";

then _control variable will be:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_control = myDisplay displayCtrl 100;

example:

description.ext:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

#define CT_STRUCTURED_TEXT 13

...

RscTitles

{

class My2Lines{

idd = 10;

movingEnable = 1;

duration = 10;

fadein = 0;

onLoad = "myDisplay = (_this select 0)";

name = "bla bla";

class controls

{

class DoubleLine

{

idc = 11;

type = CT_STRUCTURED_TEXT;

style = 0;

size = 0.02;

text = "";

font = "TahomaB";

ColorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 1};

x = 0.5; y = 0.5;

w = 0.2; h = 0.3;

class Attributes

{

font = "TahomaB";

color = "#00ff00";

align = "left";

valign = "middle";

shadow = true;

shadowColor = "#000000";

size = "0.8";

};//attrib

};//DoubleLine

};//controls

};//My2Lines

};//RscTitle

somewhere in mission:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

titleRsc["My2Lines", "PLAIN"];

_control = myDisplay displayCtrl 11;

_control ctrlSetStructuredText (parseText "line1<br />line2");

[memphisbelle 99]

when you call it, take somehow pointer to control,

and you can write text with breaklines:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_control ctrlSetStructuredText (parseText "line1<br />line2");

Hmmm...and this is exactly what I dont get. Is it only possible to define the Text right within that syntax, or can I use a string instead of the text, but how would then the br tag behave to the string..... So my question is. Is a line break used in structured Text basically possible? From this point of view I would say no...

[Przemek_kondor 13]

Sry, I don't understand what you mean text and string.

When you write "text" do you mean text from stringtable.csv used directly in description.ext ?

If you do, then I don't know how use it in that way (without additional script)
