Hello, i try to find a way to align my UI text, by shifting some sentences right (as for a list) without manually placing spaces. How could i do this ? "\t" only works for one line but i want that all the sentence go right. Thanks

Not tested: A sort of visual way might be to have a normal empty parent, and shifted-right empty parent. Change the parent using SetParent(whichEmpty, true);. The "true" tells it to recalculate position based on the new parent.

set the test alignment to "Right Justify" then all text will line up to the right edge of parent Rect Transform. if you aren't using it... use TextMeshPro, for your text needs.

I don't want the text to line up to the right edge, i just want a sentence to move slightly to the right. I'd like to not use Text$$anonymous$$eshPro for now.

Example:

"\n\tHelloo" "\n\tIt's me"

If line is very long, calculate the length of each line, and add programmatically \n\t

Hi, thanks, but how do i calculate the length of each line, as characters have different sizes ?
