How Can I Outline Always Changing Score Text?

Hi,

Been working with the paid version of Construct 3 for about 1 day.

Googling has found almost all solutions, but stuck on the below issue:

How can I outline(in black) always changing Score text in the game?

Score text is:

"Score_Text.Score"

Been fighting the above for over 2 hours, hope someone can help.

Thank you in advance!

Do you mean like a custom font with numbers with a black border ? There is something called SpriteFont where you can import your own numbers and display them with the black outline.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply...

When I setup the Score text, I have:

[outline=black]0[/outline]

But in the Event I have:

How can I modify the Event above to outline the Score text in black color?

Thanks!

Hi Again,

The only thing I found on the Construct 3 forum is below

https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/create-outline-changing-text-181009

But I don't know how to implement it.

Nevermind...

I figured it out:

"[outline=black]" & str(Score_Text.Score) & "[/outline]"

How do I mark this thread "SOLVED"?

Oh ok you meant like a bbcode style thing, fair enough. You can just leave the post, no way to mark it as solved. Maybe edit the title if you really want.
