Script draw_text_properly

Description

Introduction

Appsurd presents a simple but useful script which scales your text in case it does not fit on a line any more. Works on GMS 1.4 and GMS 2. Works comparable to draw_text_ext but does not line-break, but instead draws the text in a smaller font. Of course the script is well-commented and you may use it for free. If you want to give us credits (not obligatory but you may do so) please put down Appsurd!

Advantages

• Works very simple and comparable to draw_text_ext
• Helps to improve workflow when dealing with multiple languages

Disadvantages

• Text might become unreadable as it can become very small

Example

Draw Event

/// Draw the text and boxes
draw_set_color(c_white);
draw_rectangle(100,110,400,128,false);
draw_rectangle(100,210,400,220,false);
draw_set_color(c_black);
var txt = "A short sample text, script made by Appsurd";

// Standard script
draw_text(100,110,txt);

// New script
draw_text_properly(100,210,txt,300);
