cecho/echo Alignment

[icesteruk]

Does Mudlet have a way to align cecho/echo to the right or center, instead of to the left as it is now?

I made a way using string.rep(" ", number) but on some screens the number is too long or, too short. Or Will I have to make some script witht he .rep function?

I seen thaat but too complicated for what I was after... and the output isnt what I was after either as I want it to be something like


[ OUTC: plantname (totalleeft) ]

[Akaya]

Would something like this be too complicated?...

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

align("[ OUTC: plantname ("..total_left..") ]",{"center",})

Am I missing something, The above does nothing... :/

I want something simple as people who hardly know how to code will be using it, And I want to be able to move it from left, right or center depending on what the person wants

If you use the script from the above link, it does exactly what you're describing in a single function.
First parameter is what you'd like to echo. Second parameter is a table of how you'd like it styled in any order. Centered and whatnot. Can't get much more simple than that

I tried but its just aligning to the left.. not center as what you posted stated ... It why im confused


cecho(calign("[ OUTC: plantname ("..total_left..") ]",{"center",}))

echo(calign("[ OUTC: plantname ("..total_left..") ]",{"center",}))

Are what I tried to use

Ok, so are there any errors in the error console?

These should help us to figure out where it's breaking down.

No errors, its showing just not, alignin correctly ...

[ OUTC: plantname (377) ] is whats being shown..

Unsure if this is a issue but it looks like its followng on from the prompt before (that shouldn't be happening I guess)

8%|S:100|xp 71.4%|(m/c) [ OUTC: plantname << prompt line
(1974) ] << new line

---

0.00%] [csdb eb] |B0|E:98%|S:100|xp 71.4%|(m/c)outc slice
You remove 1 testis slice, bringing the total in the cache to 40.

Is what im trying to make align to the right, the You remove line

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

cecho(calign("[ OUTC: plantname ("..total_left..") ]", {alignment="right"}))

or "center" etc.
