Hello,

My project has lots of text. Sometimes the text is 5-6 words others its 10-12.

I use the text object and I would like to know if its possible to scale the text every time according to the content. Currently I do it manually on every event and its really annoying as I have to type the text in the scene and then see which is the maximum size the text size can have.

Is there any automatic way to scale the text to the maximum size it can go every time?

Thanks

Just set the height and width to whatever number you want them to be.

You can use these two expressions:

"TextWidth

TextHeight

Return the size of the actual text content within the text object's rectangle. Note the Text object must be drawn before these have the correct values. If you set the text then immediately access these expressions, they won't yet have the correct value. Adding a 'Wait 0.1 seconds' action will usually solve this."
