Custom Rich Text in TextMesh Pro

Im making a engine for making undertale games!
But I need the ability to add custom rich text in Text Mesh Pro, as in <pause> to pause the text type effect I have for a moment!
Please help!

 

Okay, Thanks.

 

I know this is an old post but I did find a solution to add a pause tag into the typing text.

In the file TMP_RichTextTagStack.cs add:

Code (CSharp):

1. public struct TMP_PauseStack
2. {
3.      public int charPos;
4.      public float pauseTime;
5. }

Then in the file TMP_Text.cs add:

Code (CSharp):

1. // Pause Tags
2. public TMP_RichTextTagStack<TMP_PauseStack> pauseStack =
3.    new TMP_RichTextTagStack<TMP_PauseStack>(
4.       Enumerable.Repeat(new TMP_PauseStack { charPos = -1, pauseTime = 0 },
5.          16).ToArray());

In the same file modify the switch statement

Code (CSharp):

1. switch (m_xmlAttribute[0].nameHashCode)

and add:

Code (CSharp):

1. case 308822:  // <Pause>
2.    foreach(TMP_PauseStack ps in pauseStack.m_ItemStack)
3.       if (ps.charPos == m_characterCount)
4.          return true;
5.                    
6. TMP_PauseStack newPauseStack = new TMP_PauseStack
7. {
8.    charPos = m_characterCount,  pauseTime = ConvertToFloat(m_htmlTag,
9.       m_xmlAttribute[0].valueStartIndex, m_xmlAttribute[0].valueLength)
10. };
11.  
12. pauseStack.Add(newPauseStack);
13.                    
14. return true;

Note that 308822 is going to be the custom hashcode for your specific tag.

In your custom typing script you can then access the position of the pause tag as well as the duration like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. foreach(TMP_PauseStack ps in textMeshPro.pauseStack.m_ItemStack)
2. {
3.    int pausePos = ps.charPos;
4.    float pauseTime = ps.pauseTime;
5. }

Example TextMeshPro Text would then look something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. THE LAST METROID IS IN CAPTIVITY. <pause=3>THE GALAXY IS AT PEACE . . . <pause=10>

 

Hey I know this post is kinda old, but the above answer doesnt seems to work for me. I dont have any file called TMP_RichTextTagStack.cs but i do have TMP_RichTextTagsCommon.cs.

Any help with this?
