Error:
The score board doesn't load after the latest changes because truncation is applied immediately upon setting the text, which accesses Width(), but the text's layout is not yet initialized, so it causes a circular lazyvar error.

This causes a circular lazyvar error because SetTruncationEnabled is called in score.lua before Left/Right/Width are set, and applyTruncation calls Width(). Ideally SetTruncationEnabled shouldn't interact with the layout LazyVars by calling them directly as from a user perspective it is a property of the text, kinda unrelated to the layout, but I am not experienced with UI code that much so I don't have a direct solution. Could you see if something elegant is possible?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
hmm I think I see what you're saying, but correct me if anything is wrong here:
(I'll use "element" in the context of HTML, hopefully you've seen its syntax)
The Control type defined in control.lua is basically the lowest level UI element. It contains all the dimensions, state, and properties for a "standard" element.
Elements like Text, Bitmap, and Button all extend Control
So with the current setup, it's not that Text is modifying the layout, but rather the Text element is managing its own layout while also containing the text.
The way FAF does it would be like if standard HTML was like this:
<!--used for alignment and formatting-->
<div width="50%" text-align="center" background-color="lightblue">
<text Cropping="true" TruncationText="..." Color="red" Width="30">
YOURWORDSHERE
</text>
<Bitmap file="path/to/file/" Width="30">
<Button="path/to/standardButton">
</div>But HTML sort of does what you're suggesting and uses the generic formatting element <div> to both contain and style raw text, but also layout many other elements
<div width="50%" text-align="center" background-color="lightblue">
<!-- class properties OR inline definitions ("color: red" for example)-->
<div class="beautiful-text" color="red">
YOURWORDSHERE
</div>
<Bitmap file="path/to/file/" Width="30">
<Button="path/to/standardButton">
</div>// CSS class definition for above text
.beautiful-text {
width: 250px; /* 1. Explicit width is required */
white-space: nowrap; /* 2. Prevents the text from wrapping to a new line */
overflow: hidden; /* 3. Hides the overflowing content */
text-overflow: ellipsis; /* 4. Adds the '...' at the end */
}But while HTML is generally designed as a text-first system, I see why the FAF engine kept it as its own element. Things would get cluttered and confusing if control.lua was designed to hold and display text by default.
If text starts getting a lot of complex/incompatible features then you would want to split/inherit it into several text types. (Like scrolling animated text for example) HTML has <H1> to <H6> for header sizes.
So while I'm still unsure about the solution to the circular dependency problem, that's the explanation to why it's setup like this.
Why does SetClipToWidth() seem to have no problem with the lazyvar thing, but mine does?
---@param clipToWidth boolean
SetClipToWidth = function(self, clipToWidth)
if clipToWidth then
self.Width:Set(function() return self.Right() - self.Left() end)
else
self.Width:Set(function() return math.floor(self.TextAdvance()) end)
end
self:SetNewClipToWidth(clipToWidth)
end,Thanks for reviewing and helping me with this!
(I had a fun time writing this! I didn't anticipate my basic HTML experience would help me understand FAF UI xD)

maybe not perfect, but this fixes the lazyvar width() initialization
--- Internal function to fit the truncation string inside the max width
_applyTruncation = function(self)
-- Avoid unnecessary truncation, and no width issues
if self._fullText == "" then return end
local initialized, maxWidth = pcall(function() return self.Width() end)
if not initialized or maxWidth <= 0 then
self:SetDisplayText(self._fullText)
return
endand that also makes me realize that we could have optional truncation as a shorthand in SetClipToWidth()
--- Adjusts text cropping behavior
---@param clipToWidth boolean
---@param truncationEnabled? boolean
---@param customTruncationSymbol? string
SetClipToWidth = function(self, clipToWidth, truncationEnabled, customTruncationSymbol)
if clipToWidth then
self.Width:Set(function() return self.Right() - self.Left() end)
else
self:SetTruncationEnabled(false)
self.Width:Set(function() return math.floor(self.TextAdvance()) end)
end
if truncationEnabled then
self:SetTruncationEnabled(truncationEnabled)
end
if customTruncationSymbol ~= nil then
self:SetTruncationText(customTruncationSymbol)
end
self:SetNewClipToWidth(clipToWidth)
end,
But then I wonder if it should all only be in SetClipToWidth() as that is required for truncation anyway.

Technically this will fail if truncation is enabled and then OnDirty is changed later.
You'd need to put the width lazyvar behind a proxy that intercepts modifications to OnDirty to avoid this.
Proxy meaning an empty table with a metatable that uses a function for __newindex to intercept OnDirty. Not sure how the engine interacts with that though, sometimes it rawgets things.
This is an optional change though because from what I see in the codebase, Width.OnDirty is rarely changed.

Yeah at least this one won't overwrite another OnDirty, but it will be up to someone else to preserve the truncation OnDirty when setting their own. Although that could get really frustrating to troubleshoot, but it's sorta a limitation of only having a single OnDirty for any given property.
Maybe some sort of helper version that won't overwrite an existing one like PreservedOnDirty or StackOnDirty
Or a more complex system that allows you to add/remove to a list of named OnDirty functions. (I'd rather have a global fix rather than a niche hacky one, but that is probably out of the scope of this)

@coderabbitai What happens if SetClipToWidth is set on a text with truncation enabled? Does it cause an infinite loop because Width adjusts upon text advance changing, and text advance changes as text is truncated to match a changed width?

@lL1l1 No. SetClipToWidth(true) does not create that loop.
When clipping is enabled, Width is calculated from Right() - Left(). It does not use TextAdvance(). A bounds change dirties Width, and the installed Width.OnDirty callback runs _applyTruncation() once.
_applyTruncation() calls SetDisplayText(). That changes the native displayed text and its advance, but it does not call Width:Set() or change Right() or Left(). Therefore, it does not dirty Width again.
SetClipToWidth(false) is different. It defines Width from TextAdvance(), which makes truncation unsuitable as a width constraint because the width follows the displayed text. It still does not form the LazyVar recursion described here, since changing the native text does not invalidate Width automatically.

Description of the proposed changes
I wanted to improve scoreboard legibility.
I started by separating game speed, and game quality into their own controls to make modding and future changes easier. I added dropshadows, tooltips, and right aligned the ratings while making sure to crop player names if necessary. This led to the-
Implementation of SetTruncateText() which defaults to "..." but can have custom trailing strings like "/", "-", or even "ITDOESNTFIT" (for larger amounts of text where cropping bugs could be missed).
This is executed through SetClipToWidth() and only activates if SetTruncationEnabled(true) is set.
To do this cleanly, and in a reusable way, I split SetText() into SetText() and its implicitly called SetDisplayText().
SetText() - controls the source text and behaves practically the same as before
SetDisplayText() - sends text changes to the engine without changing the Text object's internal string. This allows for better mod and source code capabilities for fancier text. The first example being custom text truncation.
Testing done on the proposed changes
I loaded up private AI matches and replays to check for console and visual errors. I got screenshots:
Original for reference (plus rank cropping issue)
Game start with lots of players
Full scoreboard
Replay scoreboard
Show full player names after hovering for a moment (in-case of cropped names)
Tooltips added for new players
