"Automatic" line breaking

[ineed.help]

Hello. Apparently, making an automatic line break for a string isn't as easy as I had thought.

I tried using this code:

int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow wnd(sf::VideoMode(640, 480, 32), "Video Game");
       
        int sizeOfLine = 0;
        int xPosition = 0; int yPosition = 0;
        char previousChar, currentChar;
        int fontSize = 24;

        std::vector<sf::Sprite> characters;
        sf::Sprite temporarySprite;
        sf::Font font;
        sf::Glyph glyph;
        font.loadFromFile("font.ttf");

        std::string msg("Hello! This is a text message. Because this message is so long, there has to be a line break somewhere.");

        for (int i = 0; i < msg.length(); i++)
        {
                        currentChar = msg[i];
                        glyph = font.getGlyph(currentChar, fontSize, false);

                        temporarySprite.setTexture(font.getTexture(fontSize));
                        temporarySprite.setTextureRect(glyph.textureRect);

                        if (i >= 1) { xPosition += font.getKerning(previousChar, currentChar, fontSize); }

                        sizeOfLine += temporarySprite.getTextureRect().width;

                        // THIS IS THE PART THAT REALLY MATTERS
                        if (sizeOfLine + fontSize >= wnd.getSize().x)
                        {
                                yPosition += font.getLineSpacing(fontSize);
                                xPosition = 0;
                                sizeOfLine = 0;
                        }
                       
                        temporarySprite.setPosition(xPosition, yPosition + glyph.bounds.top + font.getGlyph('A', fontSize, false).bounds.height);
                       
                        characters.push_back(temporarySprite);

                        xPosition += glyph.advance;

                        previousChar = currentChar;
        }
}

But it doesn't work as well as I had hoped. What can I do?

As exploit mentioned, we're not to sure what you're specifically asking for. Try being more clear and providing us with some output so we know what exactly is wrong.

You don't have to rewrite sf::Text. Just compute each character's position (text.findCharacterPos) and insert a line break ('\n') in the text's string everytime the x of the returned position is higher than your limit.

Sorry, I was away; I know I don't have to rewrite sf::Text, but doing so is necessary for the other part of what I'm working on.

if (xPos + tempSprite.getTextureRect().width >= windowWidth) { ... }

This seems to work for me, so I'll stick with it. Thank you.
