Title: How to work around [00] alpha encoding in labels?
Post by: sintua on January 26, 2015, 05:12:18 PM

I use encoding to change colours of the text in a string, but I also need to include [10] and etc in the label, which turns the thing transparent. I can't even escape the encoding with a [[10], and I can't disable encoding because I use it for colour.
Is there an escape character so prevent the label from taking any [##] string and changing it to an alpha? the [any6characters] limitation was mildly obnoxious, but not being able to put 2 characters in brackets is causing problems all throughout my game, not even just this label.

Is there not an escape character for when we actually just want to type a bracket without invoking the encoding?

As far as I know, there isn't one right now, but it doesn't sound like a crazy addition. If you want to quick fix it, you can look into the NGUIText class where the string gets processed and add an escape for now.

Just break up the sequence. For example, one of these:

1. [c][[/c]01]

1. [[-]01]

Ah, thank you! That should work well! But I would recommend adding the "[[" escape character, it seems to be typical usage in other similar situations, would resolve this kinda problem in a simpler more expected manner :)
