[SOLVED] Why my text label clipping?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making a game but my textlabel is clipping when i put into a string, for some reason it only does that when i put strings, but if i change to normal, it just be normal again!!!
so, can anyone help me?

Code:


local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService") --gets tweenService
local tweenInstance = script.Parent --the gui you want to move/resize
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DialogueEvent")

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.4,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0) -- creates the tweens info (if you want it to repeat, change the 0 to how many times it should repeat.)

local tween = TweenService:Create(tweenInstance, tweenInfo, {Position = UDim2.new(0.513, 0,0.783, 0)}) --creates the tween
local tween2 = TweenService:Create(tweenInstance, tweenInfo, {Position = UDim2.new(0.513, 0, 1, 0)}) --creates the tween
local tween3 = TweenService:Create(
	script.Parent.InitialPrompt, 
	TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut),
	{MaxVisibleGraphemes = string.len(script.Parent.InitialPrompt.Text)})

tweenInstance.Position = UDim2.new(0.513, 0, 1, 0)

Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Message)
	script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
	tween:Play() --plays the tween
	script.Parent.InitialPrompt.MaxVisibleGraphemes = 0
	script.Parent.InitialPrompt.Text = Message
	task.wait(1)
	tween3:Play()
	tween3.Completed:Wait()
	task.wait(3)
	tween2:Play()
end)

Here’s the print of what’s going on:

Could you explain your issue again, normally? I don’t understand what you want to do, and what is happening.

bruh, what? bro, i’m trying to be the most normally possible. ok, ok, look:

It’s not supposed to be “m” it’s supposed to be “mim” But for some reason, it just clips and he removes the “im” and it turns to “m”, understand now?

Perhaps the textlabel is too small? Try printing the Message before setting the textlabel’s Text to it, see if the Message is even correct

what if you type the text in there manually when the game isn’t started, does it still cut the message off?

But i need this for some dialogues, so i need to put a string, you know? I won’t use the same dialogue for all the npcs.

What if you start the game, enable the gui manually in explorer and type in it?

Change
script.Parent.InitialPrompt.MaxVisibleGraphemes = 0
to
script.Parent.InitialPrompt.MaxVisibleGraphemes = -1

Or just remove that line entirely, that’s what is causing it.

well, your didn’t solved it, but i already solved it. i just changed a line of code of the function.

here’s the updated code:

--place this script INSIDE the gui instance you want to move/resize

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService") --gets tweenService
local tweenInstance = script.Parent --the gui you want to move/resize
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DialogueEvent")
local DB = false

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.4,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0) -- creates the tweens info (if you want it to repeat, change the 0 to how many times it should repeat.)

local tween = TweenService:Create(tweenInstance, tweenInfo, {Position = UDim2.new(0.513, 0,0.783, 0)}) --creates the tween
local tween2 = TweenService:Create(tweenInstance, tweenInfo, {Position = UDim2.new(0.513, 0, 1, 0)}) --creates the tween

tweenInstance.Position = UDim2.new(0.513, 0, 1, 0)

Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Message)
	if DB == false then
		local tween3 = TweenService:Create(
			script.Parent.InitialPrompt, 
			TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut),
			{MaxVisibleGraphemes = string.len(Message)})
		DB = true
		script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
		tween:Play() --plays the tween
		script.Parent.InitialPrompt.Text = Message
		print(Message)
		task.wait(1)
		tween3:Play()
		tween3.Completed:Wait()
		task.wait(3)
		tween2:Play()
		DB = false
	end
end)

--thanks for using My Tween Tool, leave a comment under this plugin if you have any questions or wanna report a bug. :)

Glad you fixed it, but you just set it to the length of the Message, -1 would let it be any length. Both should have worked.

Actually, here’s the difference (it’s on the function):

New code:

Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Message)
	if DB == false then
		local tween3 = TweenService:Create(
			script.Parent.InitialPrompt, 
			TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut),
			{MaxVisibleGraphemes = string.len(Message)})
		DB = true
		script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
		tween:Play() --plays the tween
		script.Parent.InitialPrompt.Text = Message
		print(Message)
		task.wait(1)
		tween3:Play()
		tween3.Completed:Wait()
		task.wait(3)
		tween2:Play()
		DB = false
	end
end)

Old code:

Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Message)
	script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
	tween:Play() --plays the tween
	script.Parent.InitialPrompt.MaxVisibleGraphemes = 0
	script.Parent.InitialPrompt.Text = Message
	task.wait(1)
	tween3:Play()
	tween3.Completed:Wait()
	task.wait(3)
	tween2:Play()
end)

The difference it’s that i was sending the maxvisiblegraphemes to textlabel text, not to the message pass function
