Honestly, I just put this together, so perhaps it was utterly foolish of me to expect this to work.
The idea is that the text object takes it's given string and separates it into smaller strings each with different parameters.It takes a string like"The idea is /inot /cto destroy the /bstrange monsters, /cbut rather to take them alive for further inspection by /ySeamus."and turns it into"The idea is not to destroy the strange monsters, but rather to take them alive for further inspection by Seamus."For some reason, it doesn't do this.All of the ministrings are blank and the formatting is not present.length = string_length(str);

I'm feeling proud of myself because I have no idea what you're referencing
Oh bugger, I've noticed a glitch. string_width() will return different values for italic/bold/different sized text even if the string is identical. You'll need to assign relevant parameters to the internal font system to get the spacing to work properly.
This is the reset code, I believe:case "c": { //Reset to normal text previousString = currentString //Saves on a little processing time currentString += 1; //Move register to the next row of the arrays totalStrings += 1; parseStringPos += 1; stringStartXinc[currentString] = stringStartXinc[previousString]+string_width(stringText[previousString]); //Space out along x axis tringStartYinc[currentString] = stringStartYinc[previousString]; //Align with previous y coord stringText[currentString] = ""; //Set stringText to empty stringFormatting[currentString] = 0; //Set stringFormatting stringColor[currentString] = c_black; //Set stringColor stringEffect[currentString] = 0; //Set stringEffect string break }So, wait. We're not allowed to ask for assistance on our entries?
What the fuck.I'm sure that's not the case since some people are using entire engines. And without a doubt, the RPG Maker people are Googling scripts as we speak.
Ok, Taizen is now genuinely disqualified for not understanding sarcasm
It was nice competing against you, Taizen. Even if just for a week.
I was going to make a sarcastic remark, but then I realized that I didn't know if you were being serious <3
Of course I was being serious, everbodies is disqualifieds.
