Can you change the colour of the texts?
Spooky 28 Nov, 2024 @ 3:19pm 
cant find the text generator script

I don't understand how I can rotate the word instead of the letter. I looked in the comments. You wrote that you should set the rotation to global instead of local. But the rotation is already set to global.

Spiney The Flu 21 Dec, 2022 @ 6:09pm 
add more fonts
OMG Theres A Bear In My Oatmeal!  [author] 11 Dec, 2022 @ 12:19pm 
you need to select all the letters and then have the rotation mode set to world to rotate the whole word.
Ditto 11 Dec, 2022 @ 11:25am 
in one of the gifts its shows you rotating the words around but when I do it it only spins the letters.
Also I looked in the comments and I did try global thing... it didn't work... does it need to be a very specific model that you need to attach to it.
KomradeDoot 28 Oct, 2022 @ 2:04pm 
there a question mark?
Bizop 1 23 Oct, 2022 @ 7:54am 
Osha Lominsa main camera meaning the first camera you get when opening a model.
OMG Theres A Bear In My Oatmeal!  [author] 13 Oct, 2022 @ 6:43pm 
ok, I just updated the script, it should work now.
Gmanluigi 13 Oct, 2022 @ 4:27pm 
no, it just only spawns one letter and nothing else (i have several letters typed in to the generator)
OMG Theres A Bear In My Oatmeal!  [author] 13 Oct, 2022 @ 3:35pm 
does an error show up in the console when you try to spawn them?
Gmanluigi 13 Oct, 2022 @ 2:43pm 
for some reason the spyro letters wont spawn when i select it in the generator, are they broken? cause i have them subscribed so im confused.
Cinpopy123 2 Sep, 2022 @ 4:03pm

OMG Theres A Bear In My Oatmeal!  [author] 16 Feb, 2022 @ 5:28pm

Osha Lominsa 16 Feb, 2022 @ 4:51pm 
Hi there!, I have the same problem as MegaPikachu, but I don't know what you mean by "main camera in the shot" Could you elaborate on that?
SuperKoopaBros 24 Jan, 2022 @ 1:23pm

OMG Theres A Bear In My Oatmeal!  [author] 20 Sep, 2021 @ 12:26pm

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 469, in <lambda>

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'GetCamera'
Ludwig, Shadow Protogen 26 Nov, 2020 @ 5:16pm 
I tried to generate the text but it only gives me one letter, is that a bug or what?
OMG Theres A Bear In My Oatmeal!  [author] 13 Nov, 2020 @ 4:24am

Souvlaki 12 Nov, 2020 @ 4:30pm

Machelix 23 Aug, 2020 @ 2:08pm 
Ah, now I see what you meant with the hierarchy. I'll just make due with how you have it now.
Machelix 23 Aug, 2020 @ 1:23pm 
Thanks for the scaling fix, I'll have to check that out when I boot up SFM again. :)

As for the hierarchy, you may have intended to have the scaling controls in the middle of the letters, but it instead had it at the end. Sorry for not specifying that earlier when describing the letter jumble. ^^; If ease of scaling control access is your goal with placing it in the center, I think placing it towards the top of the hierarchy would be the best move there. Otherwise, if it's to assist positioning the letters themselves (selecting the center of the letter string as opposed to the end), then it didn't seem to work like that when I used it. Or maybe I was just selecting and manipulating it wrong. ^^;
OMG Theres A Bear In My Oatmeal!  [author] 23 Aug, 2020 @ 8:04am 
@Machelix, the reason the hierarchy is like that is so when you select the group, the transform is in the middle of the text and not at the edge. I can change that if you still what me too. I just updated the the script to fix the scaling issue.
Machelix 22 Aug, 2020 @ 10:21pm 
I just have a few critiques of this text generator. It's extremely useful to be sure, but it just needs a couple more tweaks.

The scene hierarchy orders the second half of the letters first and then the first half. I know it's only a slight annoyance that only requires a quick manual reorder, but I feel it should be addressed to perfect your rig script.

Also, is it possible for your rig to apply the scaling effects to the prop bone for the letter and not the root transform? Sometimes when I move the letters after adjusting the scale, the letters disappear when I move the camera. I've seen that this problem occurs when the roottransform bones are rescaled.

Thanks for hearing me out on this, and keep up the good work. :)

How do I color multiple letters at once? That script can only do one at a time.
Квас :D 15 Aug, 2020 @ 8:24am 
wtf is wrong with "I"
zuraxe 29 Jun, 2020 @ 2:35pm
