Default Text in Alice 2.0 - 09-29-2009, 09:59 AM

Please can someone help me?
How do I insert special characters in Alice 2.0?
I'm using texts as objects and can not give a break-line(or enter).
I write in Portuguese and when I use the methods Say and Think the Alice 2.0does not identify (?, ?, ?, ?, etc).

I just found a way to do it with 3d text.

-Create a 3d text object, change the font to times new roman, but leave the text as "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"

-when the object is created, click it to select it, then click the properties tab on the left of the screen and click the text property's text area. It will let you edit the text of the 3d object.

-type in the text you need, then hit enter, and it should update to show you text, along with any special characters you use

Ok, thanks for your answer, but I would like to use the Say method

You can make something in paint or another application and then go to file and click add billboard? I don't really fully understand your question?

Sorry, I don't think the say method supports special characters. I'll do a few more tests, though, and see what I can do, alright?

When I use Ç or á in Say method, it shows me other letters.

But I imported png files with text and create 3D text and put its VEHICLE property to the camera and I´ve got a good result.

That's pretty much the solution I said to try. You see? All the world's problems would be solved if everyone just listened to me, heheh.
