How to creat multiple line expresion text @_@#

zellhuang

Hi,GSer!
I'm facing a dementing problem.Can anyone help me?I will be appreciate of your help!

All I need is "Multiple line expression text" in one "Display Text" behavior.
I know how to creat a multiple line text without expression.Just option+return to change line.
However,if I add any expression, option+return won't work at all.Every time I clicked the "Text" input box,it directly pop up the expression menu.So I tried to input:

"expression"..(option+return)
or
"expression"(option+return)

neither of these methord worked

I DO need Multiple Line Expresion Text! because I'm creating a card game,and I need to display text from actor's attribute,such as Card name,Effect description,so on.

Can anybody help me? Thanks in advanced!

"Brilliant you found a sword ".. game.Name is from our Zanda template...now if i remember correct i also tried to add multiple expressions with no luck for eg if i wanted 2 game.X attributes on different lines.

Not sure anyone has requested this to the team.

Sure you can , use "\n" to drop a line ,
So lets say you have 2 expressions , and you want to drop a line between them, do it like this :
"expression1".."\n".."expression2"

The result will be :

expression1
expression2

Voila !

For more on multiple lines and such in GameSalad check out http://gamesalad.com/g/45451

I made it a few weeks back for a similar question. It is available for download in GameSalad.

Edit: for some reason the online version has the actor placement jacked up so you cannot see everything. But If you download and open it it works fine.
