TMP Problem: when you move, the text is updated

I use color changes of specific characters as in this lesson

but I also use my own font that creates SubMeshUI and I think that when I change Transform it is updated and repainted with the original color. With fonts that do not use SubMesh there is no such problem.

Video demonstration of the problem

Maybe there's some way you can give up SubMesh, but I don't know what he's responsible for.

 

I realized it was because of the large number of characters in the font, but is there any way to change it? To make sure that SubMesh doesn't update when it moves?

 

I use a similar code on VertexJitter.

My Code

Code (CSharp):

1. public void ChangeColorChars (int pageID, int stepID, Color32 color)
2. {
3.     for (int i = spritzScript.Pages[pageID].Steps[stepID].First; i <= spritzScript.Pages[pageID].Steps[stepID].Last; ++i)
4.         {
5.             if(m_TextMeshPro.textInfo.characterInfo[i].character != ' ' || m_TextMeshPro.textInfo.characterInfo[i].character != '\t' || m_TextMeshPro.textInfo.characterInfo[i].character != '    ')
6.             {
7.                 int meshIndex = m_TextMeshPro.textInfo.characterInfo[i].materialReferenceIndex;
8.                 int vertexIndex = m_TextMeshPro.textInfo.characterInfo[i].vertexIndex;
9.          
10.                 Color32[] vertexColors = m_TextMeshPro.textInfo.meshInfo[meshIndex].colors32;
11.                 vertexColors[vertexIndex + 0] = color;
12.                 vertexColors[vertexIndex + 1] = color;
13.                 vertexColors[vertexIndex + 2] = color;
14.                 vertexColors[vertexIndex + 3] = color;
15.             }
16.          
17.         }
18.  
19.         m_TextMeshPro.UpdateVertexData(TMP_VertexDataUpdateFlags.All);
20.     }

But I decided to check if Jitter would work when moving if I had SubMesh present and it was not working when moving.

 

I temporarily fixed it by reducing the number of characters in the font.

 

Okay, I don't know what the connection between my generated font and the original LiberationSans font was, but after LiberationSans was removed, SubMesh stopped showing up and the problem disappeared.

 

I do have my own ScrollView system, but even if I use the original UnityUI ScrollView and Text has SubMesh, JitterText does not work. Apparently, the transformation updates the mesh and recreates SubMesh again. As for me, the easiest solution would be to be able to turn off the search for missing characters.

 

I'll use the last 14 preview version 2.1.0.
