\n broken
« on: May 29, 2013, 12:06:34 PM »
\n for linebreaks seems broken. Updated to latest version. Suddenly all linebreaks just show \n in the text and doesn´t do a linebreak.
Need this fixed asap, please. Can´t deliver my project like this.

"\\n" does not get converted to "\n" at run time. Solution -- use "\n" instead (which is a single character)

You shouldn't have been using multiple characters to specify a line break anyway. Either hit Enter to create a new line in inspector, or "\n" in code.

i didn´t use \\n, I used \n.

It worked before I updated. Now it doesn´t.

Yeah, it's not working on the editor like before, it just work on Localized files. You have to use normal break line (enter) to do it.

Why did this change? There is a saying. Don´t fix what isn´t broken.
Maybe I can fix this by replacing it with a "build string" in playMaker. Just a lot of extra work and problems for seemingly no reason.
Anybody know if playmaker has a linebreak for the input boxes?

That problem is with your GUI textfield you used for your "Set String Value" inspector. You need to use a GUI.TextArea, not a GUI.TextField.

TextArea supports multi-lines. TextField does not.

Ok! I will try that (if playmaker allows it)
Thanks, Aren for the quick reply!
