Text Formatting

Sometimes instead of using multiple TextFields anchored to eachother you want to just add a % after some text. Vanguard provides a couple tags for formatting text inside of a textfields <Text> element.

Main Formatters

• <gamevar=SomeGameVar>

Adds the contents of a game variable

• <color=somecolor>text</color>

Colors the containing text

• <nl>

New Line

• <size=10></size>

Changes the size of containing text

• <indent=10></indent>

Indents the contained text a certain number of pixels

• <image=VgrdImageName>

Inserts an image into the text. mainly used for bullets

Examples being VgrdBulletWhite, VgrdBulletGreen, VgrdBulletRed

• <vgv=SomeGameVar></vgv>

Contents will only be visible only if the var returns a non false value

• <highlight></color>

Highlights the contained to a lighter version of the current color defined.

Less Common

• <pcname></link>

Makes a name meant for click to tell

• <item=0:0::0,0,0,></link>

Used with linking items in chat

When using all < and > must be replaced by < and >

Examples

<Text><gamevar=StatusHitpointsSelf.Percent> %</Text>

This would display your current health percent. 100 % . Next

<Text><gamevar=StatusHitpointsSelf.Percent> <color=yellow>%</color></Text>

Will display the same thing but the % sign is colored yellow.
