Hint Command
« on: 07 Feb 2003, 20:00:12 »
How do you get more than 1 line in 1 hint command.

like when you see stats up in the hint box

my problem is if I just use the spacebar and move the text a line down it wont stay lined up if any numbers become another digit longer ( 99 and 100) it will move the text forward:

Example


Normal:

Kills:6
Deaths:3

After:

Kills:14
_Deaths:7


_ represents a blank space

 Try using /n  or \n  at the end of each line.. can't remember which one it is off the top of my head ::)

but one of them will work.. it's the code for a line break

its "blablabla\n"
dont put a space before the "\n" or there will be a space on the next line.  This is not a theory, btw, it's fact.  I know "\n" is from C++, which the game is coded in.
