'''Floating Text''' is an event in the '''VFX ~~tab~~''' that displays text in the foreground of a room. This event is commonly used for lyrics or other places wherein alternatives like '''[[Show Status Sign]]''' or '''[[Show Dialogue]]''' may be less appropriate or useful. Its color, outline color, rotation, size, and position can be edited. It can't be moved.

Line 32:

| Text position || Text boxes (Numbers) || Text position.

|-

| Text || Text box (String) || ~~The voice that says the phrase~~.

| Text || Text box (String) || Text to display.

|-

| Show '''Advance Text''' actions || Toggle (Bool) || Whether to show the '''Advance Text''' actions or not.

Line 56:

To change the '''color''' of a ''syllable'', encapsulate the text in <code><color=#HEXALPHA></color></code> (e.g. <code>It/ is/ get/ting/ clo/ser/ and/ clo/ser/ to/ <color=#FF0000FF>you.</color>"</code>). Note that this only affects the '''text''' color, and not its '''outline'''.

To change the '''size''' of a ''syllable'', encapsulate the text in <code><size=NUM><\/size></code> (with the backslash) (e.g. <code>Thank/ <size=100>GOD<\/size>/ it's/ o/ver/</code>). Note that this will make the encapsulated text not display if it's using the default latin pixel font. Any other font will properly display the resize.

To use any '''special characters''' literally without affecting the functionality, put a "<code>\</code>" behind the character (e.g. <code>Our/ worries/ and'''\/'''or/ our/ fears</code>).

'''Floating Text''' events support [[RDCode#Variables||RDCode variable reading]].

'''Floating Text''' events support [[RDCode#Variables|RDCode variable reading]].

Since the position of the floating text cannot be dynamically changed with the event on its own, '''[[Move Room]]''' events can be used on an empty transparent room with the text to move it.
