Scroll Text in Interfaces?

  • #1, by constantin 8 years ago Zitieren
    Is there a possibility to scroll text? I have an interface with info-text. I would like the user to be able to scroll this info-text with arrows up and down. But I found out, it is not possibly to move buttons (I was thinking about just moving the button, where the text was shown.)
    thanks in advance.

    yes, it is. Use the scrollpane feature for lua which is mentioned in the API docs:


    the background graphic you define there is split up into 9 parts. the corners and the connecting sides + inner area which gets stretched.

    SimonS updated the script there a few days ago.

    The Object you define at the addtext line has to be the id for an display *** text action part (right click > copy ID). The text in it gets displayed then.

    I am still on version 4.2.5. is there an easy way to find out the id there?
    I also dont know, how to use it.

    uff... im not even sure und if the scrollpane feature is available in 4.x.
    At least it worked a bit different. 

    To get the id in 4.x,right click on that object and select "dump to log" (or something like that). that should appear nownin the vs editor log file

    ah, i remember 4.x games from daedalic which have scrollpanes used (night of the rabbit > diary). So it should be possible but i guess SimonS has to describe how the scrollpane script was used back then.

    They manually programmed these scroll panels.

    ah, okay. So to solve this mystery: 4.2.5 doesnt have this ability built in ?

    No, they're possible since 5.0.3
