GUI set max amount of characters for Label
I have a GUI system and it displays strings from different parameters, but I wanna add a max size for each string, so that for example when the string exceeds a certain amount of characters, it ends in "..." at that point where it crosses the max (for example). Is that possible? Here is the code I am using...thank you in advance!
void OnGUI()
{
int row = 0;
int rowHeight = 30;
foreach (KillFeedInfo k in KFI)
{
GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.width - 300, 0 + row * rowHeight, 200, 200), k.Killer);
GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.width - 200, 0 + row * rowHeight, 200, 200), "[" + k.Gun + "]");
GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.width - 100, 0 + row * rowHeight, 200, 200), k.Killed);
row++;
}
}
This works for display purposes:
int strlen = 8;
string displayString = "a big long text string that you want to truncate";
displayString = displayString.Remove(strlen);
displayString += "...";
Debug.Log(displayString);
if you want to preserve the original string, then make a duplicate variable and pass the original into it and display that.
foreach ($$anonymous$$illFeedInfo k in $$anonymous$$FI)
{
k.$$anonymous$$iller.Remove(maxString);
k.$$anonymous$$illed.Remove(maxString);
k.$$anonymous$$iller = k.$$anonymous$$iller += "...";
k.$$anonymous$$illed = k.$$anonymous$$illed += "...";
GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.width - 300, 0 + row * rowHeight, 200, 200), k.$$anonymous$$iller);
GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.width - 200, 0 + row * rowHeight, 200, 200), "[" + k.Gun + "]");
GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.width - 100, 0 + row * rowHeight, 200, 200), k.$$anonymous$$illed);
row++;
}
do you mean to apply it like this? Im a bit confused.
