Creates a ScoreMessage to be used in the designer.

Shortcut for pushing messages directly using this ScoreFlashLayout instance.

Shortcut for pushing messages in a specific color directly using this ScoreFlashLayout instance.

Performs a couple of checks to ensure that everything is set up correctly after an upgrade to a new version.

If assigned, instead of using ScoreFlash.Instance, this ScoreFlashLayout will use the assigned ScoreFlash instance when messages are pushed directly via Push(Object).

Message that is shown while in design mode.

Unity doesn't properly support updating the GameView when an object is deselected, so if you disable this, the design will stay in the game view until it is updated once more. I have a hack for this - but unfortunately, it's causing trouble when the object is being deleted (there's an exception that I cannot catch). Both is not a real problem, it's just a little annoying.

Freeze any message pushed directly to this ScoreFlashLayout at its read state.

Use this to control the anchor / alignment of the messages sent using this instance of ScoreFlashLayout.

Design mode allows you to use the scene view to set up the positioning of this ScoreFlashLayout. This works both while playing and while not playing, however, if you have moving options, you might want to pause the game to set things up (otherwise you might chase your messages around ;-) ).

Use this to show random messages.

Locks the innerAnchor to screenAlign.

Locks the screen alignment. This is only used by the visual designer.

Maximum width of the message before it's wrapped. This works together with minPaddingX.

Minimum distance between the message and the left/right screen borders before the message is wrapped in two (or more) lines. This works together with maxWidth.

Position for messages pushed with PushLocal(Object) in normalized pixels relative to NGAlignment ScreenAlign.

Controls whether the message is aligned to top, middle or bottom of the screen. Defines how position is applied. Possible values are defined by NGAlignment ScreenAlign.

The usual delay between two messages in seconds. Use this to increase or decrease the frequency in which test messages are being sent to ScoreFlash. NOTE: This does not have an effect on messages sent via includeMessageSpam (these are always sent in a burst without any delay. Also be aware that this is based on real time (so Time.timeScale has no effect).

Provides access to the current message, which is always the last message that was sent through Push(Object) or Push(Object, Color). You can use this to change the message without going through the animations. This is usually used together with freezeOnRead.
