Okay so I am working on a plugin and I decided to have a long text argument as one of the arguments.

Example: "foo.bar.this.example" // this is what the argument could equal for example.

This would get displayed on a window on one line but what if I wanted it on two or more lines.

Well if the example was:

Example2: "foo.bar.\nthis.example" // this should in theory make a new line and when typed into a console.log() it will work.

However when I do a console.log(args[0) I get

"foo.bar.\nthis.example" // note that the newline isn't even parsed even though this is still a string.

I am wondering why does this happen?

Note I have fixed this for my self in the following manner (though I would still very much like to know why it happens in the first place):

Code:
(function($){    var _Game_Interpreter_pluginCommand = $.prototype.pluginCommand;    $.prototype.pluginCommand = function(command, args) {       _Game_Interpreter_pluginCommand.call(this, command, args);       if (command === "test"){          // remove .s and replace with whitespace          var _str = args[0].replace(/[\.*]/g, " ");           // check for newline character and replace with newline character       	  _str = _str.replace(/\\n*/g, "\n");        	  console.log(_str); // has the expected result        };     }; })(Game_Interpreter)

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
