How to jump to the last chat message

[laurentl]

Using UITextList, how do I jump to the last message entered?
I'd like to have it work this way : when a player enters a text, it automatically scrolls to that message if the player scrolled up.
I cannot find a method to do that, my guess is - gotta code it yourself but I don't even know how it scrolls...

UITextList is just an example. I recommend creating your own chat system. I did that myself for both Windward and Starlink.

For my prototype the UITextList worked great. To get it to automatically scroll to the last entry, I made a copy of UITextList and modified it (made other changes too, it's a great example to work from). All you need to do is set mScroll = 0 in the Add() method right before the call to UpdateVisibleText(). Then, whenever a new message is added, no matter where the user is in the scroll buffer, it will scroll to the last entered message.

Hope that helps!
