  I resolved the issue! Turns out the dialogue system was sometimes only writing all the letters minus one. This can be fixed easily by changing line item 21 from

  written_letters greater than or equal to letter_count

  to

  written_letters greater than letter_count

  This image is set to display the text correctly! :)

  Yeah what plinkie is saying is 3 Variables

  • Lives
  • Score
  • Score2

  Everytime you gain points make it add to both Score and Score2. Then make a seperate event When Score2 is equal or greater to 30,000 subtract 30,000 and add 1 to Lives. That way Score2 will always be somewhere between 0 and 30,000 but the main Score variable is always increasing and indicative of your total Score :)

  Thanks for your reply!

  You recommend changing the text box size based on the volume? I cannot change the box sixe because it is a part of a fixed-size menu.

  I have to find a way to reduce font size based on character count or something similar

  Hello! I have a window that has to remain a fixed size. This window is going to be populated with text using the Text Object. I want the text font size to change based on how many characters there are dynamically. Whats the best way to achieve this?

  Thanks a lot and Happy New Year! :)
