[Behavior] Typing (for text / sprite font plugin)

Updata

Add a sample capx for adding a cursor after the last character of current typed text.

Is it?

Oh that works well, very basic but thanks for bringing that to my attention. I meant more in adding the ability to have a sprite in the place of that symbol. Some games do this with a sprite of an old feather-pen.

It needs to get the position of the last character. I am not sure how hard to implement it in this behavior.

rexrainbow , hello and thank you for this wonderful behavior!

I am trying to use the action "Type text" and pass the text data from a function parameter (type text | Function.Param(x)), but the only thing I get is a 0 (zero).

Does this behavior support receiving data from a function?

It works fine here (sample capx - typing under "On function") .

rexrainbow ,

Damn, you are right... My problem is that I want first to set the text with the normal "Set text" action in order to get its height in pixels and create a speech balloon that will dynamically encapsulate it. A dt after that, I was clearing the text and added the "Type text" with the function call.

On closer inspection, it seems like I can't have any "Set text" type of action before the "Type text" action if I want to use a function call. However, if I use the function call with the normal "Set text" action and then add the "Type text" action and set it to type the text that was set above, it does work!

Check this example! It demonstrates what I am trying to say above <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

Your problem might not be "action: set text" or "action: typing".

The Function.Param(n) would not be correct after "system: wait".

Oh man... I forgot about that... Thank you rexrainbow , I am sorry for the false alert, the problem is definitely caused by the wait action, nothing wrong with your Typing behavior.

Update:

Now rex_text_typing could type text on official text box object.

That's great! Thank you!

How I can make pause and continue to the text?

Update

Add action: pause, action: resume to pause or resume typing.

Try these new features.

Thank you very much, now it's fine

Now I have some problems, I don't know if you update your behavior because I has this problem very recently.

It says: error

Object doesn't support property or method 'copyPensMgr' ....Rex_text_scrolling_behavior.js, line 165 (col13)

I cannot fix it so I hope that you can help me.

Thanks of all

You might update rex_Tagtext plugin and rex_text_scrolling behavior to latest version, then try again.
