Hi again all

I'm trying to get Lynlocation to set the coords and Location on different lines..

Coords below the Location instead of beside it

I tried \n (saw that somewhere for "new line") but when I put it in either of these places (in Bold) -

text:SetText(zone..\n coords)

or

coords = " "..format("%.2d.%.2d" \n,x*100,y*100)

it throws errors...

Any idea how I can achieve this? I thought I could grab a text string layout but it isnt as simple as I imagined.

Thank you again

\n isn't a Lua command that tells a fontstring to create a new line. It is something placed within the string that then gets parsed when the string is read and put on display.

Code:
text:SetText(zone.."\n"..coords)
