I would like to make a text engine, but, need the scripts!

What kind of text engine are you talking about? I don't understand what you need.

The scripts of that project are perfect!

Make sure to give credit if you use it.

I already gave credit!

I need to make my own script for a text engine.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude! It was that you changed only a few things and called it your own text engine.

If you want to make your own, then firstly you need a sprite with all the costumes from A-Z. Make sure all the costume centers are in the middle of all the costumes, then you can use this script:

If the width of each letter is different, then make a list that contains the width of each letter in it, in separate slots. (So if ‘A’ was 10 pixels wide, ‘B’ was 11, and ‘C’ was 13, then the first item in the list would be 10, the 2nd would be 11, and the 3rd would be 13.)

Then replace

Hope this helps! c:

It does help!

I'm making a bit of a simplified one, it only works in all caps though.

I am really clueless on how to make a text engine. Please help me!

I made a pretty successful text engine. It supports size and wraparound (if the text goes off-screen, it will go to the next line automatically). It's all caps and the backspace only works if you have a single color background (change the backspace costume in the sprite to the background color of your project). Other than that, it works well. If you use it, please give me credit.

Thanks, but is there a tutorail that will help me make a text engine?

Sorry, but I don't know of a tutorial. Making one is very simple, though. Look through my scripts and try to figure it out. The name of the costume matters! I may make a tutorial this weekend, if I have time.

Thank you I'll try that.

I need help. I want to make a text engine, but I can't understand the scripts. Can someone make it easy to understand?

Yes, I can. Basically you play around with the scripts and make the sprite either make a clone, or stamp itself, therefore making it type.

I've made a text engine like that (But by myself). The problem with this simplicity is that you cant make costume for both big letters (A) and at the same time have small letters (a). ):
