hi all,

i have some text in my game, although i want some text to be one color/size, and the rest a different color and smaller size, how can i change the size of some text without it changing the size for all the text in the game or are you unable to specify the size of a text string.

thanks

SET TEXT SIZE sets the text size.

If you want to set the colour you need to use the INK command.



The ink command is too slow to use in a loop unless you have the second parameter as 0
ink rgb(255,255,255),0 : `runs fast
ink rgb(255,255,255),rgb(0,0,0) : `runs a lot slower

You can also store the colours in an integer which might be quicker than the rgb command,

I'm not sure about dbp, but there were problems with dbc and text size. Like you could keep changing the text size in a loop, it wouldn't look right.
