Formatting the status window text...and everywhere else
|
is there a simple way to format content sent to a window? I have been making use of the vertical space of the Status Window...and ran out, so now I am trying to use the horizontal space and still keep everything consistently horizontally located.
For example I want to put my current hunger and thirst status side by side and keep the header stationary regardless of the length of text the variable contains.
| Code: |
| hunger: @currentHungerState thirst: @currentThirstState |
unfortunately in it's current format the location of thirst varies based on the length of the value of @currentHungerState
the only example i have found that seems to solve this issue is below...and it works and I get the concept, but based on the amount of work each line would require I find myself asking the question, is there another/better way?
thank you for reading :)

You would use the %format function
#HELP %format - to pull up the help file |
