Description

Lines text up vertically in the text window. I guess I was really bored and I wanted to make text line up vertically for a scoreboard. I had to recreate the Ascii function since NWN doesn't have such a simple thing... It doesn't support double, quotes or backslashes because they don't have escape sequences. I suppose though, it's possible to create an item with a quote and backslash in the name and use that, but it's not worth the effort. Feel free to use it as long as you keep the credits. Example usage: string sPrint += '\n'; sPrint +=PadToWidth(FitIntoWidth(RemoveChars('Vladiat0r', sNonAlphabet), 103), 103) + ' (40) '; sPrint += PadToWidth(FitIntoWidth(RemoveChars('Jantima', sNonAlphabet) , 103), 103) + ' (40)'; sPrint += '\n'; AssignCommand(GetItemActivator(), SpeakString(sPrint));
