particularly a text slice. is there a way to do this?

by pixel would be amazing, by line would work just fine.

as in:

"i'm a text slice and i think i'm so cool
because you can read me and theres
no way to shut me up lalalalalalalala"

showing up as:

"i'm a text slice and i think i'm so cool
because you can read me and theres"

or:

"because you can read me and theres
no way to shut me up lalalalalalalala"

while still having the full text stored inside the slice?

You can clip slices to a rectangle. I'm also working on some line-by-line scrolling features for textslices. To clip a slice, put it in a container slice of the correct size and position, and set the container to clip with 'set slice clipping'

For example, to hide the top 10 pixels (one line) of a text slice, parent it to a sufficiently large container slice set to clip, and offset it at 0,-10 so that the top 10 pixels are over the edge of the container.

awesome. thanks!

EDIT:while im at it...

is there still no way to check text box conditionals from a plotscript?

ive gotten around it before but it would be much easier if i didn't have to...

Nope.

We have some plans for improvements to Textbox conditionals; after the next release would be good time to work on them. It would also be a good time to add some script commands for them.
