Printing Text with Randomized Fonts - KVonGit/quest5-stuff GitHub Wiki

This can be used for things like anonymous letters.

Enable the advance scripts feature in your game (if you haven't already done so).

In "User Interface Initialisation", add this:

// Edit this list to include/exclude any font from fonts.google.com.
// Mind your capitalization and spacing!!!
game.webfonts = Split("Chicle;Indie Flower;Anton;Lobster;Press Start 2P")
foreach (font, game.webfonts) {
  SetWebFontName (font)
}
// Assuming your initial font is the default font, and not a web font.  If not, change the next line.
SetFontName (game.defaultfont)
// If your initial font is a web font, and you set it up in the editor (or before this script),  uncomment the next line.
//SetWebFontName(game.defaultwebfont)

This needs to be in the User Interface Initialisation script because this will load your fonts any time the game is loaded, whether it is a saved game or a new game.

If you were to put this script anywhere else (like the start script), the fonts would not preload when loading a saved game.

Add these functions to your game in full code view:

  <function name="RandomFontMsg" parameters="txt"><![CDATA[
    msg(RandomizeFont(txt))
  ]]></function>
  <function name="RandomizeFont" parameters="txt" type="string"><![CDATA[
    textarray = Split(txt, " ")
    s= ""
    foreach (a, textarray) {
      s = s + "<span style='font-family:" + PickOneString (game.webfonts) + ";'>" + a + " </span>"
    }
    return (s)
  ]]></function>

The function will split the text you feed it at each space, and print each item from the list with a random font, which is selected from game.webfonts (from your User Interface Initialisation script).

To use it:

RandomFontMsg ("No!  I am your father!")
