How to align text to the right?

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

I have managed to do it by manually changing the position of the text object.
It will move based on the digits in the string.

txt = str(own['Number'])
numbers = sum(c.isdigit() for c in txt)
own.position.x = own['X'] - numbers * 0.07

Well, it’s something. I don’t know how to apply a mono space font. Or if some are automatically mono.

22

a mono space font is a font where all the characters have the same width.

Yes I understand what mono space font is. The thing is if I can use it with the text object in Blender. And which fonts are mono space?

I’ve been working on a custom model for easier drawing of text on the screen in real-time in BGE/UPBGE. It uses the BLF module. Perhaps you’d be interested when I release it?

Current function arguments.

# game_scene
# game_cam
# game_obj
# game_prop
# hud_scene
# hud_cam
# hud_obj
# font_path
# font_view
# font_size
# font_align
# font_text_col
# font_shadow_col

I’m curious, what is your personal preference, multiple game-properties or a simplified module function for example -

import rp

rp.drawFont(
  game_scene="(1) Game",
  game_cam="Camera",
  game_obj="PlayerMiddle",
  game_prop="Score2D",
  hud_scene="(2) HUD",
  hud_cam="Camera.001",
  hud_obj="Placeholder : Score",
  font_path="\\Windows\\Fonts\\ariblk.ttf",
  font_view="2D",
  font_size=40,
  font_align="Center",
  font_text_col=[0,0,1,1],
  font_shadow_col=[5,0,0,0,4]
)
27

Definitely the simplified module function.
