Cannot get new line in displaytext

sokaroka

So this is for iPhone.

"Hello\nTest"

Displays as this

"Next".."\n".."Line" does the same

No matter what I put, it comes up with the exact characters, no new lines.

I've read like a million topics about this but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Help appreciated.

Hi @sokaroka The second version is correct, but you must make sure it's inputted in the Expression Editor (by clicking the "e" symbol)... should all be OK then.

Yes I did input it in the Expression Editor.
Still displays the exact text.

@sokaroka if you format the text in a text editor like test edit etc then simply copy and paste, thats how I add additional lines etc.

Hope that helps.

@sokaroka

Please post a screenshot of the expression you are using in the expression editor. i.e. show a screenshot of the expression editor window itself please.

What version are you using Mac GS Creator or Windows GS Creator? I just tried it on Mac and it works fine.

Display Text: Expression: "Hello\nWorld"

Hold down shift and press enter this will give u a new line. Or maybe it's option or command enter. Try them all one of em will work. Cheers

Option+return will give you a new line in the expression editor but it does NOT affect the display of text in the scene.

Use the second expression but remove the quotes around \n

Should be "hello"..\n.."world"

The only thing you ever out in the quotes is what you want displayed. I think anyway. It's been a while since I did it.

The \n should be within quotes. Either separate ("hello".."\n".."world") or combined ("hello\nworld").
