I managed to send a message to max/msp through cellphone and then it will appear in a bubble which then follows my head by using face detection. however, I have a problem:

it doesn't break the lines since im not using a comment object or textbox. I'm using the normal message object (write $9) which gets the message from my database and of course won't break the line and never shows the full message.

How can I use a textbox or something similar that shows on the bubble and also follow my face detection code

Hi
I have a question
I managed to send a message to max/msp through cellphone and then it will appear in a bubble which then follows my head by using face detection. however, I have a problem:

I was thinking maybe I should come up with a way that I can analyze the number of words in the message sent somehow and then after every 3 words, use something like new line character, so it takes the rest to the second line

and so on. is there anyway to do that?


Not taking credit for this, but here's an example of multi-line text in Max. I know it's not quite what you are looking for but maybe some ideas? Perhaps using a matrix will help you to sort your text.

I can't find the original thread this came from, sorry.

Unfortunately it shows the same error as output for us.

Our message comes from a cellphone so it means our users wont hit enter and type everything in one line, and we receive it in one line. when I get a message in the textedit it doesn't show the whole message.

I'm not familiar with matrix much in max/msp (I'm new at this thing... sigh)
