Zone label text control

Anonymous — Fri, 19 May 2023 14:05:05 GMT

A quick question (hopefully) - can anyone tell me how to insert a return into a zone name? As you will see in my screen shot, I need to move the 'Hall' in Entrance Hall to a second line. (The text displayed is a zone name).

I'm guessing I need to alter the zone stamp's script - if this is the case can anyone point me in the right direction to do this?

Thanks,
Tom

If the Powers-That-Be will forgive a little shameless self-promotion:

My "SuperZone" object on Objects Online does exactly that, and a whole lot more.

Your SuperZone works really well Thanks.

Now if you could sell a good guild about how to set up a door schedule in the interactive scheduler. As it is now I am putting parameters in the list that do not correspond to the information in the listing part of the door dialog box. Any suggestions?

How's this?

(the end result is already visible in the Fields area)

Any word on if SuperZone works in AC 10? There does not appear to be a way to select alternate zone identifiers in 10 making me think it would not work and Objects Online only claims AC 9 compatibility but I wanted to check with others before purchase.

What do you mea "Alternate Zone Identifiers?"

I've been using it on AC10 for as long as 1 has been out without any problem.

First off the zone label needs to be loaded to show up, and second, the zone stamp text is greyed-out in the settings dialogue because the zone stamp (such as superzone) must be selected from the 'options/zones' part of the interface....in 10 or 9 or 8....

/n
will work in any zone (or ID text or section name)
Not so great for schedules though

To be more specific you would type ENTRANCE \nHALL to separate into two lines. The second line, however, will overlap Room No., Area, etc. if toggled on to show in the zone stamp.

Lame. I think I'm loosing my mind. I thought that you could choose from all the loaded zone identifiers in the Zone Tool's settings directly rather than doing it under "Element Attributes/Zone Categories." Is this a new behavior in 10? Thanks for the word about Superzone. Perhaps you should get OO to show Superzone as AC10 compliant.

Oh, no. The Zones are the same goofy "Zone Category" setting they were in AC9. It would be nice though!

Yeah, I never understood this. Why is the zone the only one where you have to edit the attributes to change the associated library part?

Not if you also put \n into those
