Modify Floating Text

[Hypnotix]

Hello everybody. Recently I started doing a project which served as a utility for a game on a platform called byond (Not sure if you guys have heard of it, but that is irrelevent) My goal was to show the cooldowns of skills on the screen as a tooltip. Being a beginner at best i started off with the basic tooltip function. When I realized i could only use one at a time, I decided to look up floating text which led me to this code

expandcollapse popup

Opt("OnExitFunc", "endscript")



#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>



$hwnd = GUICreate("Text Region", @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 250, @DesktopHeight / 2 - 150, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW))
GUISetBkColor(0x00FF01)
GUISetState()
$hwnd2 = GUICreate("Text Region", @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 200, @DesktopHeight / 2 - 100, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW))
GUISetBkColor(0x00FF01)
GUISetState()

    $rgn = CreateTextRgn($hwnd, "rawr", 20, "Times New Roman", 2000)

    SetWindowRgn($hwnd, $rgn)
    SetWindowRgn($hwnd2, $rgn2) 
    Sleep(500)

which is apparently pretty popular around here. After much testing and tinkering I was able to figure out how to actually make the tooltips work (never messed with guis before) and i managed to Put each skill into their own tooltip and using a loop I was able to make it display the cooldowns actively. The next problem I came across was that it only wanted to let one timer go at a time, so i managed to Form it into a loop to where it checks them all at once.

Now what i would like to do is, even though my program is functional, I would like to try to modify this to where I can combine them all into one multi lined Gui/tooltip, but I have no grasp of how these dlls work or how to modify the innate function that was provided without ruining it. I tried adding a basic @cr into the text field, but it seems like that function is disabled by default.

Anybody know how i can do this? (Sorry for the huge post, I just wanted to explain the concept/evolution of my project so perhaps you guys can better help me help myself)

hmm i just realized this was the wrong forums. Perhaps thats why the thread has so many views and no responses, I guess you guys can delete this if yo uwant ima take it over to the GUI forums since i cant get help here x.x
