x = Horizontal position (in pixels) on screen. y = Vertical position (in pixels) on screen. string = The thing you want displayed on screen. sep = Distance between lines in multi lined text. w = Width of text line (in pixels).
Limitations
must be Draw Event or used with Surfaces.
Note: Please remove limitations and port them in the "Remarks" section at the end of the article.
draw_text_ext works exactly like draw_text but two extra options, sep is the amount of 'gap' to leave between each line of text, a bit like line spacing, for the default spacing, use -1. w is the width of the line (in pixels) before it wraps around to the next line
[edit] Example
Suppose you are drawing a lot of text:
draw_text_ext(0,0,longstring,10,room_width);
