Can I Use NGUI TypewriterEffect On A Label With Dynamic Text

[Fargrove]

I am trying to use the NGUI TypewriterEffect on a label that is populated with dynamic text.  Is this possible?  I can only seem to get it to work with a Label whose text is prepolulated.

Thanks in advance.

You can, but you need to ResetToBeginning() the typewriter after setting the text.

The TypewriterEffect is working great for animating dynamic text thank you.  One thing that we came across was that if we had any BBCode characters at the end of a string that we were using the TypewriterEffect to animate we would get an index-out-of-range error.  We fixed this by adding the following if statement to the while (mCurrentOffset < mFullText.Length && mNextChar <= RealTime.time) in the Update() function:

if (mCurrentOffset >= mFullText.Length)
{
      break;
}

Can you please add this fix to the TypewriterEffect.cs in the  next version of NGUI.

Thank you.

I assume this goes after the while loop?

1. while (NGUIText.ParseSymbol(mFullText, ref mCurrentOffset)) { }

Yes I have it right after the while loop.


         while (NGUIText.ParseSymbol(mFullText, ref mCurrentOffset)) { }
         ++mCurrentOffset;

            if (mCurrentOffset >= mFullText.Length)
            {
                break;
            }

Got it, thanks.
