In AUM 65 you can write text to screen using inkey as illustrated below:


STRING* name_str = " ";
STRING* answer1_str = "#100";

TEXT* name_txt =
{
layer = 15;
pos_x = 40;
pos_y = 110;
font = arial_font1;
string ("What is your name:");
}
TEXT* answer1_txt =
{
layer = 15;
pos_x = 210;
pos_y = 110;
font = arial_font1;
string (answer1_str);

set (name_txt, VISIBLE);
set (answer1_txt, VISIBLE);
inkey(answer1_str);
reset (name_txt, VISIBLE);
reset (answer1_txt, VISIBLE);

I have made the string answer1_str #100 in length. When I type text and reach the end of the screen I cannot type anymore. I want to be able to write text until I reach the end of the screen and then have the cursor jump to a new line so I can write some more visible text to the screen.

Would anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Multiple line Text Objects are not supported by Acknex Engine ^^

But you can write yourself a system wich can handle that, by reading out the every keyhit, count up or down a variable, and when it reaches a given size, the inkey changes from line_1 string to line_2 string.

Hm yes, they are. You can either do this manually with multiple text strings or use the text flag WWRAP and text.size_x with a single string.
