Hello Guys I'm new and trying to Make a RPG Text dialogue Style in Winforms.
you know the style which each char gets placed after another on.
but it keeps breaking
I have come so far:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.Media;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using NAudio;
using NAudio.Wave;
namespace RandomRPG
{
public class TextWrapper
{
string data;
private bool isTyping;
string directory = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
private int WordIndex;
private string path;
WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer Player;
Random rnd = new Random();
string[] dataWords;
public async void ShowText(string[] text, Label textBox, int Delay)
{
if (!isTyping)
{
Player = new WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer();
path = directory + @"\Data\Audio_Files\TextPop.wav";
isTyping = true;
textBox.Text = "";
for (int i = 0; i < text.Length; i++)
{
char[] characters = text[i].ToCharArray();
var words = text[i].Split(' ');
if (i > 0)
{
Array.Clear(dataWords,0,dataWords.Length);
}
// Debug.Write("Words :"+words[WordIndex] + " " + WordIndex +" ");
for (int j = 0; j < characters.Length; j++)
{
data += characters[j];
dataWords = data.Split(' ');
textBox.Text = data;
// if (dataWords.Last() == words[WordIndex])
// {
// Player.URL = path;
// // WordIndex++;
// Player.controls.play();
// WordIndex++;
// }
// Debug.WriteLine("ID" + WordIndex);
Debug.WriteLine(dataWords.Last());
await Task.Delay(Delay);
}
WordIndex = 0;
}
isTyping = false;
}
}
}
}
so it worked and still does really good, BUT the problem is that when i tried to add sound for it it got worse.......
I want the sound to play after each word is typed...
string[] s = new[]
{
"Hello\n", "Welcome to this RPG Game\n",
"In this Game you are in full control of what you can do\n", "The game is set in an open world map\n",
"you can choose your Action in the Player_Action Panel\n",
"If You are Ready Press {CONTINUE}"
};
_textWrapper.ShowText(s, Action_Window, 50);
this is the void call in form1
when i look at console i get this:

as you can see it's quite what i expect it to be but... if you look you can see at the start of a new line the last word of previous line will be also printed.
i assume it is because of how i manage data in TextWrapper
what do you think guys? how can i fix it?

Reset to default 0Hello again I managed to solve the problem.
as shingo suggested i splitted the words by '\n' not by 'space'
dataWords = data.Split('\n');
and the used another array of string to splitted yet another time but this time by 'space':
for (int j = 0; j < dataWords.Length; j++)
{
wordList = dataWords[j].Split(' ');
}
and that's it it worked..
try this
for (int i = 0; i < text.Length; i++)
{
data = "";
char[] characters = text[i].ToCharArray();
var words = text[i].Split(' ');
for (int j = 0; j < characters.Length; j++) {
data += characters[j];
dataWords = data.Split(' ');
textBox.Text += data;
await Task.Delay(Delay);
} }
\n. Or you may useTrimbefore splitting to ignore leading and trailing white space characters. – Olivier Jacot-Descombes Commented Mar 19 at 13:40
