In-line Text Scroller


Prod by Daikaji
v1.1.1
\*\***** *****|*|

Purpose: Display large strings in


smaller spaces by scrolling through
the text! Customizable and multiple
instances allowed. Won’t scroll if
there is space for the full text.

Parameters:
input = The string you want to
scroll through. This can be a raw
string or a variable.

len = Length of the scrolling area.

step = Time (in frames) the text


will delay before taking the next
step in the scroll animation. I
recommend 2.

wait = Time (in frames) the text


will stop so you can read it. I
recommend somewhere between 30-60.
If you set wait and step to the
same number, you get continuous
motion.

Usage: For PC players - take the


file and drag to your usual script
folder. Use import, and then follow
instructions below.

For Mobile players(like me) - copy


everything below the double line
and paste at the top of your code.
Careful not to override anything!
Follow the rest of the usage
instructions. If you want to copy
in these instructions as well,
that’s okay too.

Call this function any time


you would use the original string.
Place it in a print command, or
load a variable with it!
Ex:
>`0,9,Foe:@ScrollText(foe,20,2,45)@
var L = ScrollText(loc,10,5,5)
>`0,11,Loc:@L@

Enjoy! (Copy below this line)
