Centered text in "clusterdef text"

[Tormentor667]

Hello friends,

I have a question regarding the clusterdef texts that can be added through this feature: https://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO/Cluster_definition

Is there a way to make the text aligned centered and not left aligned? I didn't find anything in the wiki so I thought I'd ask.

Best regards,
Torm

As far as I know, there is no simple way to make the text centered. You could always insert a bunch of spaces at the beginnings of lines, but that's sort of hacky and would inevitably look weird.

Instead of specifying the text in the custerdef section you could make
a script which displays the text at the appropriate time with HudMessage.
See x and y.

Yeah, I also thought that this might be the only solution. One question though: If I use SetHudeSize, how can I align each line centered then?

[wiki]SetHudSize[/wiki], see the Coordinate Behaviour section. If you want your text to align center, you need to add a .4 to the Text's xpos argument, like so:

Code: Select all

SetHudSize(640,480,0);
HudMessage(s:"Hello World!"; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 1, CR_RED, 320.4, 240.0, 5.0);
