Yep, right. But in this case it is, isn't it?xenium wrote:this solution is good when the width of the text is small but when the width of the text is larger and does not fit in the width of the skin, it does not work
In the above situation yes, is a solution.balala wrote:Yep, right. But in this case it is, isn't it?
In such cases I don't understand how would you like to move the string. If it's wider then the skin, thenxenium wrote:But in my case the text will have the width bigger than the skin, so the solution above can not use it.
It would be good if there was a solution to the situation that I exposed at the beginning
makes not too much sense in my opinion. Could you please post some images with the most extreme (left and right) position of the string? I thought to some very simple images (see the attachements). Probably it's not unachievable, but I can't imagine yet how the string should have to move.xenium wrote:for example if the skin width = 160, the text runs between 140 and 20.
In the skin below, I would like the text to run inside the frame, not overbalala wrote: Could you please post some images with the most extreme (left and right) position of the string?
Code: Select all
[Variables]
...
Frame=10what I notice, the only difference now is that the text starts running from the inner edge of the frame, but it still runs over the frame.balala wrote:The simplest solution I think is the following: add a Frame variable to the [Variables] section. This variable represents the thickness of the edge (where the string won't run):I set it to 10, because in the image used as background, this is the approximate thickness of the yellow frame.Code: Select all
[Variables] ... Frame=10
Then modify the Formula option of the [MeasureX] measure, as it follows: Formula=( Clamp (( #Speed# * COUNTER % ( #SkinWidth# + [MeterText:W] )), #Frame#, ( #SkinWidth# + [MeterText:W] - #Frame# ))).
Probably if you're using the posted background (with the thin yellow border), this solution will be good enough. But with this solution, there is a period, in which the string doesn't move on its most right and most left position. The more the thickness of that part is increasing, the more time the string will stay unmoving. That's why I say maybe this isn't the best solution, but please try it out first, then we'll see.
Again there is a simplest solution. Should have to create a .png image which should have the yellow edge and in its center it should have to be transparent. Then you should have to put this image over the skin, AFTER the [MeterText] meter.xenium wrote:In my view, the text should appear from the right inner edge of the frame and disappear into the left inner edge of the frame. It does not pass over the frame, neither when it appears nor when it disappears

See the attached Frame.png. Save it into the config (in the posted example into the Test crawling folder), near the bg.png file.
Then add the following meter, immediately after the [MeterText] String meter:This way you're covering the parts of the string that shouldn't have to be visible.Code: Select all
[MeterFrame] Meter=Image ImageName=Frame.png X=0 Y=0
Simpler than that, it could not!I'm glad if you like it. Limiting the width of the string would be hard enough.xenium wrote:
