Small request - vertically align the text object?

Could it be possible to make the text object have a vertical alignment property like the horizontal alignment property? It's kind of hard to center the alignment vertically currently.

Have you tried using the editor grid?

That won't work for what I want to do with it because I want to position it dynamically at runtime.

i've you try to use the textheight property ? ... (you can only get the textheight a tick after a new text is updated in a text object, so you need perhaps to get the textheight on every tick and change Y pos dynamically)

yeah Id go with what naelian said. Get the height of the text (or just use a static size if it doesnt change) and then set its y to viewheight/2-(height/2)

if the text objects hotspot is in the center thatll center it on the screen regardless of size

Oh hey, I didn't realize that expression existed. Thanks!

I would also like to have a 'Vertical alignment' property (top, middle, bottom) of the text object. This would be useful when you for instance have a clickable menu, and wish to have a symmetrical space around the text where you can click.

Is this something that can be implemented?

Subscribe.

I have some dynamic text that is prepared to be max. 3 lines. Sometimes it's 3 lines long but sometimes it's 2 or 1. I want that text to be centered vertically, so if only 1 or 2 lines of text are present, the remaining space (at top and bottom) are equal.

If this could be implemented would be really great! :D

I'll see if I can add it for the next build.

Awesome, thanks Ashley!

Wow, great! Thank you! :)
