Fitting text into a string object.

[Filip]

Hello, everyone!

I am trying to show some strings imported from a .arr file inside of a string object, but the problem is - whenever the text exceeds the string's length, it does not go into a new row. Instead, it just breaks the last letter in half or I can choose to add "..." at the end. Why is this happening? I don't belive string object is this primitive. Is there a code I should use in the calculator and create a new event to manage this or is it something in the object properties I am missing?

Thank you for your time!

If the string object isn't tall enough to display more text, then it won't be able to display more text. Have you tried making the string object taller?

You will need to set a new size for the string object, or let it be the max size initially. You can use the Calculate Text Rect extension (find it using Extension View) to find the new width and height for the text.
