Spaces in Strings.

[Kino]

As title says, how does one add line space in a string variable?
|n doesn't seem to work.

When working with the war3map.wts file or GUI triggers (which is basically the same) you have to use the enter key. When directly working with JASS strings the enter key, \r\n and also \r and \n alone work fine.

Im pretty sure pressing enter simply saves said variable.
Could you explain more about \n?

If you investigate, typing \n in GUI means \\n in jass so if you want to have a new line, you have to do something like this

• Custom script: udg_sampleString = "1stline\n2ndline"

which will result to
1stline
2ndline

Depends. There are multi-line and single-line GUI string fields.

Uhm it's an escape sequence.
GUI operated strings are most often saved in the war3map.wts file, the trigger string file. However the escape sequences are not parsed correctly but as normal separate characters. You still can edit the .wts file directly though.

If you specify a string directly in JASS there is no saving in the .wts file by default and those escape sequences work.
