For something like this, I would very very VERY strongly recommend adding a function that goes through your text and inserts line-breaks for word-wrapping *before* the text is drawn to the textbox. A word appearing on one line and then suddenly jumping to the next is distracting to read, and looks very unprofessional. It's an easily fixable flaw that even competent indie devs overlook, for some reason
Thank you so much for making this. I've literally been going crazy trying to figure out how to do 9 slice (especially after the 2.3 update), but your tutorial made it quick and easy. I literally can't thank you enough for this
Your code is a blessing, it's so easy to modify. You have my biggest respect. If i ever publish game, you've got yourself a guaranteed place in special thanks.
For those using this tutorial after the scripting update, Make sure you convert the script to have a function! You can do this by creating a function with the existing arguments and pasting the code inside the function. and instead of calling the script make sure you call the function! Example function draw_the_slice(_x, _y, _w, _h, _sprite, _subimg){ Code here } and then on the call draw_the_slice(x, y, width, height, sprite_name, 0); Hope this helped someone

Hey man, great tutorial! Works like a charm. Just wondering though, I have an npc which, when the character collides with a hitbox, they can interact with the npc and the text shows. I tried creating another npc, and I duplicated the previous npc and changed the lines only. However, this resulted in a constant loop where the text keeps replaying with no stop to it. Any idea what could have caused this?
Everything is working perfect for me but i have a question, how to i make it play a sound when ever it draws the text, for example like MegaManX, EarthBound and undertale.
Hey there, I was curious about this, too, so I have set up a code example on Github: github.com/kgar/GameMakerStation-Matharoo-RPG-TextBox-Tutorial My sound effect is called "snd_Snare". It's not very good, but it's only for this example. In oTextbox > Step event, I put this code around the string_copy (seen here: github.com/kgar/GameMakerStation-Matharoo-RPG-TextBox-Tutorial/blob/master/Project/objects/oTextbox/Step_0.gml#L7): var previousLength = string_length(messageText); // Get message string messageText = string_copy(_text, 1, messageChar); if (string_length(messageText) > previousLength) { audio_play_sound(snd_Snare, 10, false); }
The speed would be the value added to the character position every step, you can change the color with draw_set_color (make sure to reset it to c_white after drawing) and a letter sound can be played with an alarm running in the textbox object.
I have a little trouble: unfortunately, the size of sprite I use for picture of face in text box, has different size in game than size in which it is created. Do you know which line of code causes it? For example, yours sprite is around 60 by 69, and in game it becomes 150 by 90.
If you're using draw_sprite_ext() to draw the image, then it may be the scale values. If not, then the GUI layer may have a different size than that of the game. Trying changing the GUI's size using display_set_gui_size(); set it to the size of your camera.
Ok. I was able to add in sub images to save on resources, but do you know how to add in animation? Also is it possible to do animation in the draw even in general? Thanks for your time
Sure, you need to create a variable for storing the frame number, and you can pass that into the second argument of your draw_sprite_ function. That's how you can control which frame is drawn for a sprite, and thus enable animation.
@@GameMakerStation the second argument is where I already have set the sub image of the textbox sprite. It is in the Draw GUI event in obj_texrbox. Where do i add where to make the sprite animate?

That's gonna be a whole new system, and honestly that is very complicated so I can't give suggestions here in the comments. I recommend joining the Discord server in the desc. and asking there.
Sure. For this you can use the messageChar variable. Keep track of the "previous" messageChar value (the one from the previous step). Just store it in another variable (messageCharPrev) before you update it. Then at the end of the event, get the difference between the floored values of both variables (floor(messageChar) - floor(messageCharPrev)). This would mean that the character count has gone up (for example, from 2 to 3, instead of just from 2.2 to 2.3). Then you can play a sound!

Hey man, I've got a problem but I'm pretty sure that I did exactly what you did.

Okay, I changed the padding to 70 and the sprites to 200 and they look better. But the text is still aligned to the right and writes over the sprites, any ideas?
I tried doing this, but it's a mess. It goes out of the textbox and overwrites the name and sprites. How can I align the text to the left? _drawX += (_imageW*5.6) + padding; } // Draw name draw_text(_drawX, _drawY, _name); _drawY += string_height(_name) + padding; // Get maximum width for text var _maxW = width -200;
You could include all the face emotions in the same sprite (as sub-images/frames). Then in the array where you store the [message,name,sprite] you could add an image-index element, that would change depending on the emotion you wanted to show. You'd then use that image-index value from the array when drawing the sprite in the textbox. Hope this makes sense! I suggest joining our Discord server (link in desc.) for more help.
When you move to the next character, play a sound...

@@GameMakerStation but can you give a little more specific answer ?)
I'm a little confused about where to use it..... if you don't mind
@@Валерик-э9и Sure, please join our Discord server and we can help you out: discord.gg/TykHyqK
In full screen, it won't work. Any solution? Thanks!
Try setting a custom GUI size (with display_set_gui_size())? If that doesn't work, hop into our Discord server (link in desc.) and ask there.
@@GameMakerStation What draw size?
And it still didn't work
@@dmac2016 try the size of your camera?
I don't use camera on gms 2
Hello, i started the game maker 1.4 (my old humble bundle key) can we use this in gm1.4 version. Also thank you so much, these tutorials are very useful and your accent pretty nice/ understandable
Yes, it should work, but you'll need to change how arrays are created.
For example, in GMS2 you can do this:
var arr = [0, 1, 2]
In GMS1.4, you have to do this:
var arr;
arr[0] = 0;
arr[1] = 1;
And so on
@@GameMakerStation thank you
I had a problem, in room_1 the size is 450x320 because of this, the size of the sprite (dialog) is stretched, I changed the position and size does not help

Hey, it should be working now. I was just doing some website maintenance back then :)
now *that* is a clickbait
Hmm?
I don't understand : when I start the game, it doesn't start and it tells me this : Script :
Script1 at line 11 : cannot use function/script name for a variable, using "_x"
I tried calling it litteraly anything else and yet it still doesn't work
Same :(, PLS Any Solution???
@@UMAoPLAYZ me too, have you found a solution yet?
@@shalannii Yes, W8 I will Answer Soon!
@@shalannii Just Write This Before The 9slice code-
function draw_the_slice(_x, _y, _w, _h, _sprite, _subimg)
{
Code here
}
@@UMAoPLAYZ didn't work.
"Script: nineslice_textbox at line 10: cannot use function/script name for a variable, using "_x" "
Good tutorial though but.. Why the hell are you talking like a robot? Just curious lol
It's an accent, and it's also kind of rude for you to ask that, it's obviously not their fault
@@juicimated Easy now, it was just a question from.. Oh, two months ago. Took ya long enough much?
hey, im having a trouble here, can you help me?
ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object :
Push :: Execution Error - Variable Get -15.argument(90, -2147483648)
at gml_GlobalScript_draw_9slice (line 9) - var _x = argument[0];
gml_GlobalScript_draw_9slice (line 9)
please help me, i already tried to fix this and didn't work
let's add function to Scripts,his version is old
I am having an error. It says me "the object its not specified"
Hey how can I possibly attach this on an object and make my player character walk up to it press a button and then the text can appear?
the object should just be the npc, then just change it from keyboard check vk_enter to the mouse check
There’s a way so I can make the font change?
Create a new font asset, and before drawing your text use draw_set_font() to change the font to your new asset
@@GameMakerStation thx
