multiboard textwrap

[FallenSpirit]

In my map that I’m building I want to use a multiboard to give the player a description of something in the game.

In most cases this description will be a short paragraph.

Initially I put the entire description into a multiboard slot, and the part of the description that would have gone off the screen, text wrapped back onto the multiboard.
This would have worked for me, but it only did a few lines of text wrapping, and the rest was lost.

When I tried doing small parts it didn’t do any text wrapping at all.

The only way I was able to think of to get around my issue is using sub strings. I would have to chop up my description to the size of one slot in the multiboard. Going slowly through the entire description and place each line into the multiboard separately.

Does anyone know of any better way of doing what I want to accomplish, or will I be stuck with this?

(I'm doing this in jass, and i know a decent amount of jass. So if your idea is in jass, I'll most likely understand it.)

I guess what you did was the best thing to do... I don't know anything else......

Maybe if you break the whole description into parts of 20 characters - or any number that surely fits your multiboard width.

Use a loop to break the string and count how many characters you've already used. When you've used the whole string (n >= StringLength(...)) exit the loop.
