UILabel text wrap + BBCodes

[soulburner]

It seems that something was changed last year.

My problem is that NGUI's text wrapping algoryth now breaks lines in place of [ ]  bb-codes.

I'm using moving [00000000] to make a typewriter effect in a speech bubble, so the text field stays constant size.

Like that:

Some dialog line is pr[00000000]inting here...

The problem is that this text can be wrapped the following way:

Some dialog line is pr
inting here...

Which I don't need.

Is there any way to make a word "pr[00000000]inting" unbreakable during wrapping?


PS: I've used the same effect some time ago (a year or more) in the previous version of NGUI and that didn't occur.

Doesn't seem to happen on my end. I made a new scene, new label with text, made sure it has enough text to wrap around to the second line. I then put a typewriter script on it with a fade in time and hit Play. It remained wrapped. Can you provide more details as to how to repro this issue?

Just made a new project and imported the latest version of NGUI.

Created a text field with text:

Some text goes here not[ff0000]wrappableshouldbe.

The result is:



My wish is that it should not be able to break the line after "not".

PS: I've imported a NGUIText.cs from some version one year old and it works just like I want:

Perhaps this is related to the bug I reported here:

Got it, thanks. You can fix it by editing NGUIText's WrapText function, line 1237:

1. // When encoded symbols such as [RrGgBb] or [-] are encountered, skip past them
2. if (encoding && ParseSymbol(text, ref offset, mColors, premultiply, ref subscriptMode, ref bold,
3.         ref italic, ref underline, ref strikethrough, ref ignoreColor))

To:

1. // When encoded symbols such as [RrGgBb] or [-] are encountered, skip past them
2. if (encoding && ParseSymbol(text, ref offset, mColors, premultiply, ref subscriptMode, ref bold,
3.         ref italic, ref underline, ref strikethrough, ref ignoreColor) && (offset == textLength || IsSpace(text[offset])))

Edit: Nevermind upon further testing this causes other issues. If the old NGUIText.cs works for you, just use it.
