this is good but the issue with this is it does not stop like the original once a full cycle has been completed and there is no open area between the end of the text and the beginning of the text

You change ActionList2=Wait 25 | Action2 | Repeat Action1 , 25 , #Repeat# with ActionList2=Wait 3000 | Action2 | Repeat Action1 , 25 , #Repeat#

I don't understand this point.

I don't understand this point.
with shorter text there is always space between the end of the text and the beginning of the next loop of text

Here is an image of your code with the only change being extra G's added onto something

You set the Width variable as the width for the displayed text. My code uses the Width variable as the width of the skin, not the text. :)

Simply go to:

Code: Select all

[MeterText1Mirror]
Meter=String
Text=Something
FontSize=50
X=((([MeterText1:W]>#Width#)*(([MeterText1:W]) + #XValue#))+(([MeterText1:W]<#Width#)*(#Width#+#XValue#)))
Y=0
AntiAlias=1
DynamicVariables=1
Now if you want to make the space larger, add the space you want next to #XValue#.
For example if you want to add 3 pixels the Xoption will become:

X=((([MeterText1:W]>#Width#)*(([MeterText1:W]) + #XValue#+3))+(([MeterText1:W]<#Width#)*(#Width#+#XValue#+3)))

If you want to make the space smaller, you just subtract the number.
For example if you want to make it 3 pixels close the Xoption will become:

X=((([MeterText1:W]>#Width#)*(([MeterText1:W]) + #XValue#-3))+(([MeterText1:W]<#Width#)*(#Width#+#XValue#-3)))
