Multiple line textbox

[Herman]

Hello, is it at the moment possible to give from EV ( or Lua )  a sign to force the textbox to the next line ? ( I use Lua and concatenation to give the new line, so the multiline grows correctly but no new line )
Hallo, ist es im Moment möglich, von EV (oder Lua) ein Zeichen zu geben, um die Textbox in die nächste Zeile zu zwingen? (Ich benutze Lua und Verkettung, um die neue Zeile zu geben, so dass die mehrzeilige korrekt wächst, aber keine neue Zeile)

Yes, both

The graphical EV offers a larger text box, suited for multiple line text.
And Lua now supports \n for a new line.

Oh! Would that work with the labels in the station departure boards?

There's no harm in trying, Simon.

Yes! It works, but I mucked up the loop

 

 

[Goetz]

The loop only loops when text won't fit in the box.
And loops aren't designed for multiline text.

No, not that loop, my code loop.

Because I had it coded to put one line at a time on the "Via" list, it had between 4 and 13 lines to display and was looping on a two-second timer.  Changing it to display two lines at a time meant adding a blank 14th line, but I forgot to increment the index a second time on the initial call! All working now.

(Now to get the other platform to work!)
