How do I create a Text field?

Hi everyone,

it might be a dumb question but I would like to create a Text field of a certain Width and Height.

The Object TextBox does not exist anymore in Construct 3.

Then, within the text field, I would like to have the text wrap automatically when a sentence is longer than the width of the field.

The text is coming from a Json file and can be translated in different languages.

I ask this question because first, I can't have a defined size for the text field as it scales in width and height simultaneously.

So I had an idea.Maybe, if I have an instance variable that will count each character and if a line of the sentence reaches this variable, it will automatically create a new line to continue the sentence.

I don't know how to do it and it feels tricky and hard to manage, don't you feel?

Do you have an easier solution?

Here is an image of what I try to achieve (the green text field, so the text fits in it)

Thank you Dop2000, I'll take a look at your example.

I just needed Text object.

Cheers

This is a great example. Thank you.

Omg, it seems also that I had a Construct 3 bugs with the Text object.

I was not able to change the size of the text object without scaling the height and the width at the same time.

After closing and reopen Construct, I was finally able to change the height without affecting the width :)

Also, thank you for your time, definitely, your example will probably help me for another thing I wanted to do with text scripting :)
