help about GameTextForPlayer - LuvaDePedreiro - 2024-06-05
Hello everybody! I'm new to Pawn scripting, and I would like to know if there is a way to break the line using "\n" in the GameTextForPlayer function. I tried, but the text remains on the same line, if it's possible, what did I do wrong? Below is the line of code I'm using, I would be very grateful if someone could answer my question.
PHP Code:
GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "LINE ONE\nLINE TWO", 6000, 6);
I searched the web, but I couldn't find anything similar, so I decided to ask here on the forum, sorry for the silly question.

GameTextForPlayer function does not support newline characters (\n) for creating multi-line texts. This is a limitation of the SA-MP text drawing functions. However, you can use the TextDraw system to achieve multi-line
Below is an example of how you can do this
PHP Code:
new Text:line1;
new Text:line2;
public OnGameModeInit() {
line1 = TextDrawCreate(320.0, 240.0, "LINE ONE");
TextDrawFont(line1, 1);
TextDrawLetterSize(line1, 0.3, 1.2);
TextDrawColor(line1, 0xFFFFFFFF);
TextDrawSetOutline(line1, 1);
line2 = TextDrawCreate(320.0, 255.0, "LINE TWO");
TextDrawFont(line2, 1);
TextDrawLetterSize(line2, 0.3, 1.2);
TextDrawColor(line2, 0xFFFFFFFF);
TextDrawSetOutline(line2, 1);
}
public OnPlayerConnect(playerid) {
ShowPlayerGameText(playerid);
}
ShowPlayerGameText(playerid) {
TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, line1);
TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, line2);
}

}
ShowPlayerGameText(playerid) {
TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, line1);
TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, line2);
}
I found a solution, thanks for the answer.
I used it this way and it worked:
PHP Code:
GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "LINE ONE ~n~ LINE TWO", 3000, 4);

}
PHP Code:
