Seven Towers: UCC Reference

USECODE INTRINSICS

UI_display_runes(int gump, string runes)

Displays the selected gump on screen and prints lines of runic text on-screen. What font is used to draw the text depends on the gump shown, and is currently hard-coded (as of 2009/02/26).

Parameters

gumpThe shape in 'GUMPS.VGA' that will be used.
runesAn array containing one element per line of runes to display.

If the avatar's READ flag is set, some symbols are converted into pairs of letters. Specifically:

(TH
)EE
*NG
+EA
,ST

Additionally, all lowercase letters will be turned into uppercase letters, and pipes ('|') will be converted to spaces.

When compiling code, UCC accepts some escape sequences to make these strings easier to read:

(\{th}
)\{ee}
*\{ng}
+\{ea}
,\{st}
|\{dot}
