Sorry but i am still learning how to script - An Example would be useful

AW: Making the Chat 2 lines - Extremo - 11.06.2012

pawn Code:

// Define when to split the text into another line!
#define EX_SPLITLENGTH 118

stock SendSplitMessage(playerid, color, final[])
{
    new buffer[EX_SPLITLENGTH+5];
    new len = strlen(final);
    if(len>EX_SPLITLENGTH)
    {
        new times = (len/EX_SPLITLENGTH);
        for(new i = 0; i < times+1; i++)
        {
            strdel(buffer, 0, EX_SPLITLENGTH+5);
            if(len-(i*EX_SPLITLENGTH)>EX_SPLITLENGTH)
            {
                strmid(buffer, final, EX_SPLITLENGTH*i, EX_SPLITLENGTH*(i+1));
                format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%s ...", buffer);
            }
            else
            {
                strmid(buffer, final, EX_SPLITLENGTH*i, len);
            }
            SendClientMessage(playerid, color, buffer);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, color, final);
    }
}

Usage:

pawn Code:

SendSplitMessage(playerid, color, msg);

EDIT:

The above code is just more or less an example and may or may not be really fast processing your strings. Your probably better off using split.

}

SendSplitMessage(playerid, color, msg);

That would work, I recommend using it.

Of course it works I just coded it! Haha, still, I haven't benchmarked it and have no idea how fast it is. Though on average it should be pretty quick. Depending on how many times it'll have to split it'll increase in time though.

Well.. Not really - It didn't work , Tested it IG and the chat is still 1 line.. Thanks for helping tho

[Repped+]

[And No - I am better than you in using splits xD]

Re: Making the Chat 2 lines - Black Axe - 11.06.2012

Damn me - I am such an idiot , I Didn't test it right xD

Edit : Well , I Don't get how to use it - I Want to make that once the player type in a "Long" thing it will split up in the normal chat.. Here is my chat system

PHP Code:



    if(realchat)

    {

        if(gPlayerLogged[playerid] == 0)

        {

            return 0;

          }

          else if(PlayerInfo[playerid][pMask] == 1)

          {

              if(strcmp(Accent[playerid],"none",true,3))

            {

                format(string, sizeof(string), "Stranger says: [%s Accent] %s",Accent[playerid],text);

            }

            else

            {

                format(string, sizeof(string), "Stranger says: %s",text);

            }

          }

          else

          {

              if(strcmp(Accent[playerid],"none",true,3))

            {

                format(string, sizeof(string), "%s says: [%s Accent] %s",RemoveUnderScore(playerid),Accent[playerid],text);

            }

            else

            {

                format(string, sizeof(string), "%s says: %s",RemoveUnderScore(playerid),text);

            }

          }

          ProxDetector(20.0, playerid, string,COLOR_FADE1,COLOR_FADE2,COLOR_FADE3,COLOR_FADE4,COLOR_FADE5);

        return 0;

    }

    return 1;

}

Just tested it and it works flawless

Code:

[09:19:54] This is a pretty long test string to see how fast this thing will actually split the string. Let's see how well it wor ...
[09:19:54] ks with this shall we?
