Adventure Game Studio

So, let's create a GUI and a test button (call it buttonFoo)

placing this in game_start or rep_ex:

ButtonFoo.Text = String.Format("This is a test [] dfascsadc");

I'd expect to see a new line somewhere, instead I get those silly square brackets.

Is this proper behaviour? Any workaround?

Doesn't work Arj0n, i get a "stuff [[ things" button.

I guess AGS doesn't support line breaks in button texts.

Shit, I forgot. Sorry...

As a workaround you could put a non-clickable label on top of the button with the appropriate text. Unless you're moving or resizing the controls a lot, it shouldn't be a big issue (not as friendly as if the buttons allowed line-breaks, but just not hard to get around ;)).

I don't think you've fully appreciated the fact that

I'll use a label, but that's seems pretty awkard to me, if not a bug. Thankee!
