Line Break not working...

[jvbtwentyone]

Help line breaking in message is not working
Example message >

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Hello|n + World)

The result is Hello|nWorld.
Wanted result.
Hello
World
But it's working in dialogs...
I want a gui message line break please help.

It's \n not |n.

Try putting this in a custom script.
call BJDebugMsg("Hello \n world")

It is possible that it doesn't work in GUI, not quite sure.

edit: confirmed it does not work in GUI normally. You could do this though:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_some_string = "Hello \n World!"
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: some_string

Just wondering why you need the line break in GUI if you can directly edit the line break in it. In GUI, you can directly type:
Hello
World
I guess you would only need \n in GUI for concatenation of strings.

You can just make two separate Message actions

You can use Cinematic Transmissions. They DO work.

BUT normal showing text in GUI won't work. (I think it's ShowTimedTextToForce(blablabla) or something?)

Chaosy is right, you need to use \n in text messages instead of |n. It's inconsistent to tooltips, I know, but that's blizzard game we are talking about.

GUI strings are outsourced in war3map.wts. You can press Enter to get to next line. Object editor strings are outsourced, too, you can use Control+Enter in text areas there.

Using forced line breaks in GUI won't display them ingame, though.
