Syntax formatting
Novelty supports a number of commands that enables you to format your texts and inject script variables into them.
The commands are enclosed in brackets ([...]). To end a command, you prepend a forward slash ([/...]).
Note: Currently, the formatting syntax only applies to text objects using bitmap fonts.
All syntax commands are case insensitive.
Text color
Syntax:
[#RRGGBB] ... [/#]
[color=RRGGBB] ... [/color]
Example:
[#FF0000]Red text[/#]. [#00FF00]Green text[/#]. [#0000FF]Blue text[/#].
Result:
Red text. Green text. Blue text.
Text color (with opacity)
Syntax:
[#AARRGGBB] ... [/#]
[color=AARRGGBB] ... [/color]
Example:
[#80000000]Semitransparent text[/#].
Result:
Semitransparent text.
Text size
Syntax:
[size=Factor] ... [/size]
Example:
[size=2]Double size[/size]. Normal size. [size=0.5]Half size[/size].
Result:
Double size. Normal size. Half size.
Injecting script variables
If you wish to write out a variable that has been previously stored in the game's memory you can use the following syntax command.
Syntax:
[$VariableName]
The command will be replaced with the content of the variable. For instance, if you want the name of the person talking to be linked dynamically to a game variable, it would look something like this:
