Question

dialogLabel=[CCLabelTTF labelWithString:@"" dimensions:CGSizeMake(140, 54) hAlignment:UITextAlignmentLeft lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap fontName:@"Marker Felt" fontSize:12];
[dialogLabel setString:@"Hello \n World!"];

But it shows @"Hello \n World!".

If I use

[dialogLabel setString:@"This is a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long sentence!"];

it shows in several lines.

I thought it’s a bug of cocos2d and I tried to find the way to solve this problem on Google, however I didn’t get anything helpful.

I hope you’ll help me with the problem, thanks:)!

Answer 1

According to this source, CCLabelTTF does not (easily?) support this feature, yet CCLabelBMFont does.

CCLabelBMFont *label2 = [CCLabelBMFont labelWithString:@"Multi line\nCenter" fntFile:@"bitmapFontTest3.fnt"];
label2.anchorPoint = ccp(0.5f, 0.5f);

Apparently there is a method involving more code that makes the same work for CCLabelTTF (link above), so you might want to try that out as well.
