TypeWriterEffect bugs

[chanhpomme]

Hi,

I'm actually having two different bugs with the TypeWriterEffect script:

- If a UILabel.text ends with a color or another encoding tag (for example "How you doing [FF0000]dude ?[-]"), the OnFinished callbacks from the TypeWriterEffect won't be called. Adding any other character after "[-]" fix this issue, but that's kind of dirty.

- Having keepFullDimensions to true, and some encoding tags in a UILabel (color, bold, etc...) can mess up the UILabel final display. It could untimely insert \n.
For example, let's say I have this text ("Hi, my name is chanhpomme, nice to meet you ngui fellows").
If I display it in a UILabel with a TypeWriterEffect, it would be finally displayed like so :

1. Hi, my name is chanhpomme,
2. nice to meet you ngui fellows
3.  

But if I add some colors to this same text ("Hi, my name is [FF00FF]chanhpomme[-], nice to meet you ngui fellows"),
and display it in a UILabel with a TypeWriterEffect, it would be finally displayed like so (but "chanhpomme" would be colored) :

1. Hi, my name is
2. chanhpomme, nice to meet you ngui fellows
3.  

I'm working on fixing these bugs myself, but does anybody have already seen these bugs and have some fixes ?

Thanks.

Anybody ?

I will look into it and fix it, thanks!

Edit: Fix for #1 is to change line 254 of TypewriterEffect from:

1. else if (mCurrentOffset == mFullText.Length)

to:

1. else if (mCurrentOffset >= mFullText.Length)

I don't understand #2 -- it's working as expected for me. With "keep full dimensions" turned on the label keeps the full dimensions as it types.

Thanks for the answer !

The example for #2 is certainly not a good example. The sentence that I used as an example just came to my mind, and I don't even know if it does the bug. I'll try to find a working example, with the right sentence, and the right label properties (font used, size, etc.). For the moment, I can't reproduce the bug because we change some texts in our game, and I can't find a setup that cause the bug to happen. When it comes back, I'll update this thread.

Thanks again.
