Multiple line text not working on iPhone?

OniCraft

Im game salad, I Option+enter to create multi line text display
but when it's on iPhone, they just displayed right next to each other in one line
Help?

POM

To drop a line in display text i suggest you use one out of too methods :

1) select "wrap inside actor" so that you can make a text block and your text will be only inside your actor .

2) use .."\n".. to drop a line .

The 2 dots needs to be between attributes and other words ..

For example , if you want to write down :

hello
world

you will make it like this :
"hello".."\n".."world"

Hope it helps.

Oh thanks!
Guess the tutorial I watched was outdated

Another question, what is the expression to put space between words?

POM

To put space simply press :
option+space .
This should work.

Hmmmmm . . . . . .

Anyone know why I can't do this as explained above . .

I cut and pasted P-O-M's example text ("hello".."\n".."world") into the display text behaviour but it still comes out as a single line with the code displayed in the middle (ie: exactly like this > "hello".."\n".."world").

?

POM

Hey Tynan,
you should put it in the expression editor ,
in your display text behavior , press the little - e - at the right side
Then paste it there..

That's done the trick !

Cheers Roy, I was (as you correctly guessed) typing it into the text field and not the expression editor !

Thanks for the explanation. I'm using text plus the value of an attribute

so something like this

"Hello".."/n".."game.value"..

and its coming out as

Hello/
nGameValue

So its working, but its displaying the /n. Anyone got any ideas?

ok I figured it out, 2 mistakes I was making.

First was its \n not /n (duh)
second was I had two fullstops after the word which comes out as "invalid expression". I guess its looking for another that is there.
