SetPrintText Event

2 KB, 13 years ago, submitted by Clockturn

A simple event to set text on print bricks. It only supports letters in the default pack, unfortunately.

It takes two inputs - the text to write on the brick, and whether or not to keep filling after the end of the text. Just play with it, you'll work it out!

There's another little feature - if you enter something like "[blank]" it will try to resolve that to a non-letter print for that brick. Possibly quite a handy feature!

(Also, if you have VCE running, it will support variable replacers, but it does work without VCE!)

@William S - Go read what I put on Gamefandan's Rainbow Light about you. Learn to shut up.

@Clockturn, this is quite good, better than i planned, since I was planning to make one since I had no idea how to make print from a button, didn't even know if it existed. So I thought I could script one up. Turns I don't need to. Good on ya! :D
9/10 - Try and script some more, see if you can get some non-defeat letters and such on there. ;) Good luck with your other mods.

Er, do you mean this puts a single character on the brick? Or does it output several?

Nope, he doesn't need a ? on the last sentence because it's a statement.

I get it now. To people who don't understand what Clockturn's saying: This event outputs text to the target brick AND THOSE TO THE RIGHT OF IT. Example: Five print bricks in a row, left-most one has events to output "ABCD". The first four bricks will each have one character of the text. The checkbox toggles if any bricks after the ones with text will be made blank or not.

Oh, that's pretty handy for those who only want one brick to control the other's prints

Useful, though it could be better if you could have more than one letter on a print brick.

Full of epic win.
I made a scanner using the Scanner Prints Add-On and [ScannerN], [ScannerG], etc.
About time someone made a print editing event.
