How do I make a scrollabe text box ?

In my game, player keeps track of their actions and can review them all chronologically in a journal. This journal is displayed in a single layout and of course the text can be longer that the screen itself. So I need the text in the text box to scroll.

How can I do that ?

Thanks for your reply !

I don't une text input because I need to be able to change the font and BBcode.

How do you put up in the code your offset method ? Could you provide an example ?

There you go:

It is instance variable of the text.

The text input is in another topic, I forgot to remove it.

Thank you ! I managed to have it working and added a few things :

- a formula to acccelerate scroll speed when user touches text box further from text box middle

- a test to stop scroll down when space is added to of text

Also, do you know how to stop scroll up when bottom of text is reached ?

And I think the best achievement would be to recreate swipe scroll with inertia.

Any idea on how to achieve this ?

Hi —

I've been playing with your code, it works very well.

But I've a point point : when the orignal text is longer that the box, then scrolling doesn't show it when scrolling down.

Did I forgot something ?

Yes, I got the same issue.

Maybe it is a bug of Text box.
