Text?

After a long moment I didn't do mapping, I almost forgot everything I've learnt.

Problem:

"Kill him!|n(So easy eh?!)"

It should shows:

Kill him!
(So easy eh?!)

But it doesn't and it shows:

Kill him!|n(So easy eh?!)

Wonder what's the solution? (I've forgotten it)

The solution is to just make a new line in your code like this:

local string whichString = "Kill him!
(So easy eh?!)"

or

call BJDebugMsg("Kill him!
(So easy eh?!)")

It looks strange, but it works.

It do looks strange and untidy for me.
As I've alot of strings combining . xD

Although your method works, I wonder why my earlier method doesn't work?

Using |n in Jass code has never worked for me. It only works in tooltips (and maybe some other places).
I know it looks untidy, but I am afraid it is the only solution. Well, I guess I can't be 100% sure.

Edit: Welcome back

Only displaying the text to player doesn't works.
I did the same on creating quest or tooltip, everything things work.

*Even tried "\n"

I don't think I understand.

>>I don't think I understand.
I mean that everytime I use |n in creating quest, writting tooltip, it works.
But when I use it in function calls such as BJDebugMsg, it doesn't works as it should.

[del]Yeah... It sucks.

Hmmm... |n could be added to JassHelper.[/del]

Edit: Hey, I just tested if \n works to make a line break, and it does for me now. I don't know if it is JassHelper doing something or if it just always worked. If it's JassHelper, just get the newest JassNewGen

What could that mean?

I was just thinking out loud. (as loud as text on the net can be)

Test if \n works.

yes? Great!
no? Get newest JassNewGen

yeah, in object editor, line breaks are |n, in the script though, its a "escape character" so its \n

(if you try creating a sfx with a path like Abilities\hi, syntax will say "invalid escape character sequence " which is why you have to do Abilities\\hi, since one "\" is reserved for those commands)

in fact, the jass tags highlights them for u

"Hi\nHi"

"Abilities\\hi"
