Title: Centering text with the "display" instruction (SOLVED)
Post by: aussie on Sat 01/10/2011 22:31:12
Hi again guys  :)

I'm looking for the function which allows you to center text when you use an instruction such as:

Display ("My text here.");

By default, this text comes up left-justified in a white Sierra-style window. I'd like it to be centered. I know this was possible in the old days with the ALIGN_CENTER function, but I can't find the right instruction now. Neither in the help file nor in the forums.

Does anyone know if centering text is possible?

As always, thanks in advance.

Code Select
game.text_align = eAlignCentre;

Only for message boxes and Sierra-style speech.

LucasArts speech is always centered (with respect to the character).
