Useful controller icons for Skill Game Instructions
When you make a Skill Game, in the instructions you may want to add descriptions of how the skill game is played and what the buttons do. Instead of typing out 'push A Button to jump', etc, you can use code strings to display controller icons like we have in our Skill Game instructions and the mini games in RedLynx Picks.
Most of these code strings are below. Just copy any of the strings into your sentence.
%linebreak%
%button_a%
%button_b%
%button_x%
%button_y%
%button_lt%
%button_rt%
%button_lb%
%button_rb%
%button_start%
%button_back%
%lstick%
%rstick%
%lstick_both%
%lstick_left%
%lstick_right%
%rstick_both%
%rstick_left%
%rstick_right%
%lstick_click%
%rstick_click%
%dpad_up%
Example-
'Use %button_a% to jump.'

Can this be stickied in the editor section? This will prove very useful! http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon/clap.gif
Re: Useful controller icons for Skill Game Instructions
Knew we had to have the option of doing this ourselves http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on/biggrin.gif
Re: Useful controller icons for Skill Game Instructions
Using them in this. Really useful commands!

That's looking great! I would suggest having the right stick swing the camera around if that's possible, I'm sure things would get complex doing that, but I'm sure for that car to drive like it does they must already be pretty complex.
Again, nice job.

When using these will it take up just one character in the allowed description length, or will it use up, for example, 10 if i was to use %button_y%, even though only a Y symbol taking up 1 character space will be shown in the final description?

It unfortunately takes up the full code amount.
Re: Useful controller icons for Skill Game Instructions
Well when i used these codes i couldnt share the track. Said illegal characters.
Re: Useful controller icons for Skill Game Instructions
Is there any way we could get the full list of these? I have been trying every possible combo to get rstick up and down, but I can't figure out what the string is. Rstick both up and down is what I need, but I'm sure others would benefit from the full list

that would be awesome, would be interesting to see how the driving licences work with the pop-up info on the screen as well
awww lets face it, i want word pad (face palm) and your scripting engine, gimme gimme gimme http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_lol.gif
Re: Useful controller icons for Skill Game Instructions
Thank you for the info Katamari. It helps.

I think success has no rules, but you can learn a lot from failure.

Re: Useful controller icons for Skill Game Instructions
Well, this has been long, but it would be nice if RedLynx can make those strings shorter:
A/B/X/Y/LB/RB/LT/RT/start/back button: %a%, %b%, %x%, %y%, %lb%, %rb%, %lt%, %rt%, %start%, %back%
left stick click/right stick click: %ls_click%, %rs_click%
left stick/right stick: %ls%, %rs%
left stick both/right stick both: %ls_both%, %rs_both%
left stick left|right/right stick left|right: %ls_l%, %ls_r%, %rs_l%, %rs_r%
d-pad up: %dpad_u%
linebreak: %line%
thanks http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...icon/smile.gif

@blaster
completely agree m8, %linebreak% and all others take so much valuable character space.
one thing i just noticed, why are there options for start/back buttons!!! as they cannot be used.

yes, it makes no sense with the start or back buttons, especially start.
It would be also great if RedLynx lets us to edit our track descriptions and instructions that we've already uploaded, because we sometimes forgot to add a button feature and then many of the players would not finish it just because they didn't know.
