Post subject:  well...i got the 3D effect from another page in this forum..
code:
var size : int
var text : string
put "enter text"
get text:*
put "enter size"
get size

var fontID : array..size of int

for i:size div 2..size
fontID(i) :=Font.New("Arial:"+intstr(i))
end for

procedure Text3D(text:string)

for t:i..length(text)

for i:size div 2..size
Font.Draw(text(t), t*size, 100, fontID(i), 20+floor
(i/size*10))
end for

end Text3D

Text3D(text)


do any of u have a much smaller code for 3D text?

and im not sure if the locate command does work with 3D...ive tried it b4...

you should give credit when quoting code like that... I think I wrote that Confused

anyways... in the line
code:

Font.Draw(text(t), t*size, 100, fontID(i), 20+floor
(i/size*10))


t*size is the X positin
100 is the Y

to change the location of the string you just add a number to those values.

If you're trying to display the text on 3 lines, you'd have to run the code 3 times, once for each line
