Names

[Retraluna]

Hi!

In my layout the names are sometimes too long and the nametext and the healthtext stack.

How can i make the name max. 10 letters long (or any other number) ?

You can also give the font string Height/Width to cut it off and creating a "..."

example

self.Name:SetHeight(fontsize)
self.Name:SetWidth(150)

I think most people anchor the RIGHT point of the Name text to the to LEFT point of Health text to make names get truncated.

Ofcourse you'd have to change LEFT/RIGHT depending on which side meets up.

Simple solutions are always the best.
