About pbDrawTextPositions...

[Alesteir]

I'm using pbDrawTextPositions to display a .txt file, the problem is that I have no idea how to change to a second line, that's what I tried:

    textPositions=
    [
       [_INTL(file.readlines.to_s),34,20,0,baseColor,shadowColor]
    ]
    
    for i in file.readlines
      textPositions.push i.sub(/\n/) {}
    end

I did type \n in the .txt file but it didn't really work, any help would be appreciated!

-edit-
Of course I know I could just use a "for i" each line and it would still be good enough, what I'm asking is having
a single line but with "\n" each time I want to break it and a way to recognize that \n must be read as a break line and not just as text.

The reason I won't simply do a simple "for i" with i being the number of lines, is just for learning purposes =P that's if what i'm asking is even possible.

Wait! What are you doing? Reading from txt files or creating txt files or what?

Reading from a txt file to display the text on screen.
Instead of having a txt with multiple lines, something like:

textPositions= [
[_INTL(file.readlines.to_s),34,20,0,baseColor,shadowColor]
[_INTL(file.readlines.to_s),34,40,0,baseColor,shadowColor]
[_INTL(file.readlines.to_s),34,60,0,baseColor,shadowColor]
...
]

what I'm asking is, instead, having a single long line in the txt file separated by "\n" and a way to recognize "\n" as a way to break a line and make a new one.

pbDrawTextPositions doesn't do multi-line text. Use drawTextEx or drawFormattedTextEx instead (as seen in the summary screens). I don't know if you'd need to do anything fancy to the \n to make them work, though.
