Hello all Range here,

Today I want to ask something about text windows they don't make too much sense to me and I was wondering if there was a way to change them. Because I could type a sentence and it would fit into the box where you type it in perfectly, then run your game (or hit the preview button whichever) and it runs way past it and it is EVEN WORST if you put an image in there, basically I was wondering if there was a way to globally change the font size so it fits perfect even with and image or if there was a script to resize the message box it game or whatever.

Thanks Bros!

When you use the show text command and typing in your text, do you notice those two small triangles? Those triangles represent the margins, the one closest to the right side of the window is for when you do not have a portrait accompanying the text, the other one is for when you do have a portrait with the text. If you type beyond those triangles, your text will be cut off.

There are actually arrows in the text box editor to help you with that!

These represent the margins, or where the text will begin to get cut off in the message box. The one on the right is for normal text without an image, and the one on the left is for when there is an image. If you just keep your text within these margins, your text will always show up.

EDIT: Ah, seems like DarkSwordsman beat me to it.

Anyways thanks any mods reading unless you have a better solution you can close it.

Rangemuldee, please avoid double posting, as it is against the forum rules. You can review our forum rules here. Thank you.

The arrows are just guidelines, they don't count for all font sizes or font types. You'll have to check it yourself in-game to see if no text is being cut off.

This thread is being closed, due to being solved. If for some reason you would like this thread re-opened, please report this post and leave a message why. Thank you.
