Is there a way I can make the Display Text to show 2 lines of words or sentences?

in just one display text attribute, is there a formula to make another word or sentences go under the first one?

    You can wrap text or use \n within a quoted expression or use multiple Display Text behaviors with offset Y values. If you have questions about any of these techniques, just ask.

    I'll give those a try, the third one is what i'm already using and there's a lot I wanna say in my game that would require a lot of Display Text boxes

    Alt+Enter

    that works but there's too much distance between the top and bottom two lines of sentences

    I'm also having the same problem. I tried to use the \n within the expression editor but it's not allowing me write simple sentences...this is an example of what I've tried:
    "Hello. \n"
    "bye. \n"

    but it's coming up with "Expecting ".." but "\" found.

    You would want it to say "Hello.\nBye."
