i am using DBC... but ne wayz... here is my prob.... i waz goofing around today with basic stuff... and i totally forgot how to make something bigger... so here is my code

+ Code Snippet

x = 1
Set Text Size x+1
Ink RGB(255,0,0),0
Text 0,0,\"Tyler\"
Ink RGB(0,0,255),0
Text 5,5,\"Tyler\"
loop

as you might have guessed... i am trying to make a 3D text thing that you need 3D glasses to use... so... how do i make it so that when the thing starts... the text slowly gets bigger?

thank you for your help

I'm not to sure how you would do this with text, because each font has specfic sizes. Meaning you can't slowly increase the size, it will just skip to the next size. But there must be a way.

You grab an image of the text and then scale the image up.

I found something that may help:

+ Code Snippet

sync on : sync rate 0 : cls : hide mouse
set text font "Courier New"
draw to front
make object cube 1,100
n#=0
wait 300
ink rgb(0,255,0),0
do
n#=curvevalue(100,n#,20)
set text size n#
center text 320,100,"You Won!"
`sync
rem un remark this sync to see different result
set text size 16
text 0,0,"Health:"
text 20,20,STR$(screen fps())
sync
loop

Just tried RUCCUS's idea and it works.

Experiment with it:

+ Code Snippet

Text 0,0,"Hello"
get image 1,0,0,Text Width("Hello"),Text Height("Hello"),1
sprite 1,0,0,1

do
   inc x#,0.01
   scale sprite 1,128+x#
   if x#>=512 then x#=0
loop
