Does word wrap exist?

[TJP]

Good day.

I am just starting out in c++ and I am trying to write a short introduction setting for this game and word wrap would be very helpful! Instead I am making all the sentences start from the beginning and it’s very time consuming if word wrap was in play that could be a whole new ballgame!

Thanks!

Finally! I feel vindicated.

I pointed this out rather early in the development of this section and wrote a fix for word wrapping behaviour. If you go into Source/BullCowGame/Console/Terminal.cpp

Change WrapLines to this

TArray<FString> UTerminal::WrapLines(const TArray<FString>& Lines) const
{
    TArray<FString> WrappedLines;
    for (auto CurrentLine : Lines)
    {
        do
        {
            if (CurrentLine.Len() <= MaxColumns)
            {
                WrappedLines.Add(MoveTemp(CurrentLine));
                CurrentLine.Empty();
            }
            else
            {
                int32 Index = CurrentLine.Find(TEXT(" "), ESearchCase::IgnoreCase, ESearchDir::FromEnd, MaxColumns + 1);
                Index = Index == INDEX_NONE ? MaxColumns : Index;
                WrappedLines.Add(CurrentLine.Left(Index));
                CurrentLine = CurrentLine.RightChop(Index).TrimStart();
            }
        } while (CurrentLine.Len() > 0);
    }
    return WrappedLines;
}

I haven’t tested it on anything besides 4.22 but it should still work.

Sam’s reasoning for not taking this behaviour was because terminals don’t typically word wrap.
