local word = "a"
local tf = true;--textfits stands for tf

for i = 1, string.len(text) do
wait()
local letter = string.sub(text, i, i);
l.Text = l.Text..letter
if l.TextFits == false then
l.Text = l.Text..word;
wait(5)
tf = l.TextFits;
l.Text = string.sub(l.Text, 1, string.len(l.Text)-(string.len(word)));
if tf == false then
table.insert(Pages, string.sub(l.Text, 1, string.len(l.Text)-1));
l.Text = "";
local fS = string.sub(text, 1, i);
local lS = string.sub(text, i, string.len(text));
text = fS..(string.sub(text, string.len(text), string.len(text)))..lS
end
end
end




Sorry, its a lot, been i've been trying so many ways.

Anyways, theres string called this

local text = "hole article on polar bears from the wiki"


So, I want it to split it up into pages which i can acess later.

So, I use

"l" an example page, and have it write it out word by word.

The problem is when to go to the next page.

I use the TextFits property, and make it go back a letter.

BUT, since i write it out word by word, once it gets to the edge, it quickly says that the TextFits property is true, since sometimes it goes over a bit.

I keep trying to fix it, and you can see in my methods above, like added a letter and if its still false then do it. But it still does not work.

Please help!

If you need more info just post here what u want

ok!

So here is the page that it types out "text" on.

It goes letter by letter
------------
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
------------

------------
|h |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
------------

------------
|hi |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
------------

so lets say it gets to the end of the line

------------
|hi the name|
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
------------

See? The Text does not fit!

So, in the script, it thinks its at the end of the page, since thats where it should start not fitting, so it starts a new page.


How do i get around this?

What's supposed to happen?

Also I just saw this in your script:
'tf = l.TextFits;
l.Text = string.sub(l.Text, 1, string.len(l.Text)-(string.len(word)));'

You might want to flip it, so tf = l.TextFits comes after

ok, i want it to fill out a page, insert it into a table, then restart until all the text is gone through.


How can I do this?

Im using TextFits, and sometimes in TextWrapped = true, the Text does not fit on a line.

Is there a way i can fix that?
