Text box object

complete

Sticky notes are great, but my handwriting is terrible, and in VR even more so.

It would be great to have a stickynote-like object but takes text input instead of drawing on with markers. Some basic formatting would also be amazing (bold/italic/Title size/paragraph size, etc.)

It would be cool to have an option to just see text instead of having backgrounds behind it, Leaving just the text to be seen.

Adjust width & height of signs and add fonts

FortnotVR

There needs to be a feature where we can adjust the width and length of signs, so we can fit more text on them. With the fonts, there should be a few preset fonts, then players can add their own fonts from RecNet.

Increase Sign character limit

Corporal_Joker

Rich text formatting (e.g. <color>, <voffset>), counts against the 19(ish) character limit for the Sign prop. This makes rich text formatting practically useless for any more than single-word signs.

Either discounting format text from the character limit or increasing the character limit would allow for much more interesting Signs.

Ryu: Why was this closed?

Ryu

AfewGoodTacos: I think I misread this as something that allows text- which is signs (they can go bold/italic with richtext which will be having more official support at some point). Is that enough or were you looking for a sticky note/whiteboard that allows for text to be drawn on it?

AfewGoodTacos

Ryu: Just something that allows me to write in at least a couple sentences, with some basic formatting. The signs I made in ^TacoCove? Those took well over an hour to make, as I had to type out one character on a button and then line up all the buttons together to make a word, then line all those up to make sentences. It was insanely tedious.

If I had a simple paragraph text box object, descriptions like these would be so much easier (and more legible, as well as cheaper) than writing it out on a sticky note with a pen.

Ryu

AfewGoodTacos: So something similar to a sign but allows for more text, at the cost of being just for text so you can get more characters written out right? I'll reopen this one then.

AfewGoodTacos

Ryu: You got it! Thanks.

Ryu

AfewGoodTacos: Does this sound like it meet your request? https://recroom.canny.io/admin/board/creative-tools/p/typing-in-books I can merge them together for a bigger following if you would like.

I have suggested that the sandbox machine have letters and numbers as objects in it so you can just pulled them out and place 3D letters...

A marker pen version would be awesome to

Dave

A suggestion I made during one Q&A and then circuits came out. The question that was posed to me was should we be able to just type on the post it note or anything and i said both. However, an additional suggestion was kind of like a label maker. Imagine typing something out, then hit print and attaching it to anything else like a maker pen object does. This way we could have text on maker pen objects, marker boards, or default walls.

AfewGoodTacos

Dave: I LOVE the idea of a label maker. Much more flexible. Let's do that!

Dave: I love this, too.
