jkub Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 I've been moving lately towards a notion of using the chat box a little less for resource messages and trying to use GUI text to say important messages so the chatbox does not get spammed all the time. I am having a major problem though, I find gui labels more professional and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. But when long messages are put into a label in a small compact gui window the text just stops at the end of the label box instead of going down to another line, sort of like it would in a memo. I want to use gui labels but I have no idea on how to make them wrap down to another line when the text gets too long to display. Can anyone help me with this please? Thanks

Castillo Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 I don't know, maybe you could count the lenght of the text and after X you make a new line ( \n )? San Andreas Utopia RPG (SAUR) Owner & Developer. Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

jkub Posted October 10, 2011 Author Posted October 10, 2011 So I can just use this guiLabelSetHorizontalAlign function to wrap the GUI labels?
