string_copy (str,index,count) Returns a substring of str, starting at position index, and of length count. Future versions (GMS 2. Let's Reverse the arguments to string_pos ()? The first argument is the substring to find, the second the string to search in. Note that characters are indexed from 1 in strings in GML. x) As of writing this post, it's not out yet, but one of the upcoming versions of GameMaker: Studio 2 is said to introduce a string_pos_ext (substring, string, startoffset) Hi! I am trying to draw a text that at certain substring instead of the substring a sprite is drawn. Returned array will You can use this function to parse a string looking for a specific substring, which can then be replaced by the new string that you have specified. The first character in a string is always indexed as 1 and not 0 as you may get_string This creates a pop-up window showing a standard message, with a button labelled "Ok", that prompts the user to input a string. If you don't have string_copy With this function you can easily select a number of characters from within a string to be copied to another one. 3+. The above code searches the string stored in the variable "text" for a comma after the 20th character, and if it finds one it inserts the substring "name" at that position. And at the end here where it Time to time I see people come up with increasingly strange solutions for a simple problem of splitting a string into multiple substrings on a delimiter. It'll return a nonzero index to the start of the substring if it exists at all. GameMaker's native string_split() but using an open and close delimiter and supporting escape characters. In this way you can check for how many times a single letter or a phrase is repeated in a What is the way to see if a string contains a line down "\\n"? Do you just parse for it, or does anyone know of a function perhaps? Thanks :) string_char_at You can use this function to return a specific character at a specific position within a string, with the index starting at 1 for the first character. Passing an array of strings as the second argument (substr) will make the function remove any of those substrings at the start and end of the string, instead of white-space. Let's put it differently: Forget about GameMaker using 'draw_set_color' for a second and imagine that some special escape sequence exists to change the color of the text. The script returns an array which contains the assuming the substring positions are relative. So here's a post about the A function string_contains(str,substr) which checks if the substring exists anywhere in the string, much like string_starts_with checks it for the start and string_ends_with checks it for the end. So what I'd like to do is write a display of a string so that it appears to type on the screen. The code is as follows: if TextToDraw != FullText { TextToDraw = . GameMaker has a complete set of functions that permit you to manipulate strings in many ways, including the insertion of one string in another, the copying of strings and the ability to parse strings Syntax: string_pos (substr, str); Returns: Real Example: if (string_pos (",", text) != 0) { string_insert (name, text, string_pos (",", text)); } The above code searches the string stored in the variable "text" If you're looking to create a typewriter text effect in GameMaker where letters appear one at a time, here's how to do it using GameMaker Language coding. I have obj_message_box -> create current = 1; text = GameMaker has a complete set of functions that permit you to manipulate strings in many ways, including the insertion of one string in another, the copying of strings and the ability to parse strings Introduction Appsurd presents you the superuseful and handy script: string_split(substr, str, ignoreEmptyStrings) ! It works on GMS 2. string_pos can find substrings for you. The function will return the input string, or the default value if string_last_pos This function will return the character position of an instance of a sub-string within a string, searching from the end of the string to the beginning (so the reverse of string_pos (). This will only replace one occurrence, to replace all of string_insert With this function you can create a new string made up of two strings, where one has been inserted into the other at a given position. If no character is found or the string is shorter The above code searches the string stored in the variable "text" for a comma after the 20th character, and if it finds one it inserts the substring "name" at that position. A note on optimization, you may want to break up the if statement to multiple lines, because as explained in the manual, the whole if string_pos (substr,str) Returns the position of substr in str (0=no occurrence). The So I've built a text engine to take a string and print it to screen one character at a time. For example: "Here have a smiley =^)" And it should draw it as "Here have a smiley :)" string_count This function will return the amount of times the given substring appears within a specific string. It can be useful, for example, to add a user name into a Alright. GameMaker has a complete set of functions that permit you to manipulate strings in many ways, including the insertion of one string in another, the copying of strings and the ability to parse strings string_pos (substr,str) Returns the position of substr in str (0=no occurrence). This is useful for handling BBCode-style formatting tags etc.
