BitmapText calculating string with for word wrapping

[agmcleod]

Hello. I'm looking at using a bitmaptext object for dialogue, and I'm wondering if there's a way to achieve automatic word wrapping. Since the wordWrap style options won't work on the bitmaptext, is there a way i can pass a string and calculate its width? It doesn't make sense to create individual bitmaptext objects for each word and check their width, as that sounds rather expensive.

 

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Hi.

 

If you do something like the following, doesn't it work?

this.text.wordWrap = true;this.text.wordWrapWidth = (0.95 * this.game.world.width);

Regards.

Nope, that only applies to Phaser.Text not the Phaser.BitmapText. I ended up just putting in \n characters into the strings as a work around, but having it work more automagically with code would be nice .
