Trying to make a visual novel type dialogue. In the instructions it says that if text is bigger than the text box it wouldn't display.

More over, how can I can tell if text in a cell should be broken up? Or is there a way for the engine to break up text in a cell?

You can know if you text will fit in a text box using for exemple:
- TextBox.Height < TextBox.TextHeight
Then you could add an action that either change the Text Size so it fits or use it to know the max amount of characters you can put before it wont display.

I don't think that will really help me with what I'm trying to do. I want to keep the text the same size as it displays in the dialogue box. I'm not sure what the action in the script sheet will do if I'm typing text in an array or converting a text document to a Json file to grab the lines from.
