So, I spawn the SpriteFont to X, Y
I then Set the Text to "Fish"
I then set all the width parameters for all the characters.
But no, i'm still getting a jumbled mess...
What am I missing?
Have you configured other properties - character set, character height etc.?
Most people use the Spritefont Generator tool to create spritefonts. It exports a text file with all properties, including spacing data. So all you have to do is copy them over into Construct. You don't need to set the width for individual characters.
Yes I used Spritefont Generator
And the font works fine when there pre-placed in the layout.
Its just when there spawned in that i'm having trouble.
I obviously could just have them sitting off to the side, but i'm trying to make it more elegant.
Yeah, when you create objects in runtime, Construct needs a "reference" instance to copy all properties from. A common practice is to add an unused layout like "Assets" and store all reference objects there.
