Color Codes & Item Description

[eric92]

Hello, I am working with items. I would like to beable to like my text up in the Text - Description, and the Text - Tooltip - Extended. I am trying to line up the text straight up and down, for example one item is like this:

Shield
Type: Shield
Armor: 2

That is how I want the text to line up, but I think the color codes are making it line up differently. Here is how it looks in the editor:

|cffAAAAAAShield|r|n
|cffD98719Type:|r|nShield
|cffD98719Armor:|r|n2

This is how it looks in game, but imagine with colors:

Shield

Type:
Shield
Armor:
2





I want it to look like the very 1st example but with the colors to. Also if I dont use the color codes then the text lines up just fine ingame but when i add the codes, it looks like I show above, example 3.

hmm.. this is what I would think, but somehow your results doesn't seem to fit..

|cffAAAAAAShield|r|n|cffD98719Type:|r Shield|n|cffD98719Armor:|r2

|n creates a line break... so anywhere you don't want it to look like
this, remove the |n.

For example:

Warcraft |nIII

Looks like

Warcraft
III

in game.

you have to write the tooltip like this:

|cffAAAAAAShield|r|n
|cffD98719Type:|rShield|n
|cffD98719Armor:|r2

the |n is a break, afterwards all text will be written in the next line.

So should i just take out all of the |n and that will fix it?

you have to write the tooltip like this:

|cffAAAAAAShield|r|n
|cffD98719Type:|rShield|n
|cffD98719Armor:|r2

the |n is a break, afterwards all text will be written in the next line.

please look at the example i have given.

the "|n" got to be after the "Shield" in the second line. and in the third it got to be removed completely.

Just incase you're thinking that the "|n" at the end is part of the colour code, it isn't. A colour code ends with |r. The |n is a line break, bringing the text to the next line.

@Accname and @Eric.

|cffAAAAAAShield|r|n|cffD98719Type:|r Shield|n|cffD98719Armor:|r2

My example is exactly the same thing, and it works. Tried it in the editor now. So why not just use it?

As already have been said, doing line breaks like
this
in tooltips doesn't work. You have to use a |n

Here is an example of how an item from my map looks like:

Roots made through century stone absorbing proportions. Also boosts armor by 4|n|n|c009B041814% chance on attack to immobilize an enemy for 2 seconds, dealing full duration of 28 damage|r|n|n|c00E2A516Effect causes roots to burst out of the ground, trapping the unit with vicious vines. The unit cannot move, cast spells or attack and receives 14 damage each second for a maximum of 2 seconds|r|n|n|c003DB53BHas a maximum of 125 range within attack location to capture an enemy|r

Use |n for newline.
Use |r to end a color code.

To sucessfully implement a code from a hex editor do:

1) Google for hex color editors.
2) Copy the code you like
3) Write "|c00" and Paste the code inside.

Be sure to write the |c00 part, because that is a start of almost any color code in Warcraft.



Item ingame looks like this:

Roots made through century stone absorbing proportions. Also boosts armor by 4

14% chance on attack to immobilize an enemy for 2 seconds, dealing full duration of 28 damage

Effect causes roots to burst out of the ground, trapping the unit with vicious vines. The unit cannot move, cast spells or attack and receives 14 damage each second for a maximum of 2 seconds

Has a maximum of 125 range within attack location to capture an enemy

Now add to my reputation because all the other posts suck. XD
