No space Characters Guide DD-Modding

Informations, properties and how use no space characters in DD modding

What are tooltips with no space?

To say it simple it is just tooltip that have inside many characters that take no space.
In my case i used around 200* Zero Width Space*[en.wikipedia.org]

Examples

With and without zero width spaces:

• [Example Tooltip​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​]
  
• [Example Tooltip]

Visually it looks exactly the same but game will show you that those really are different.

*big amounts are not required but recommended.
Minimum amount of no space characters is related to the length of tooltip. And it has exactly the same properties as much easier to do overkill.

Properties of tooltips with no-spaces

• Always count as tooltips with max amount of characters, no matter the amount of text inside.
  (because they take up entire space of tooltip)
  
• They can delete a couple of next characters. Depend on amount of normal characters. [You should always try to get that result!]
  (it happens always when amount of them is big enough, probably fault is in how DD was coded but noone can be sure)

Deleting Characters Properties

No spacers not always delete couple next characters. How deal with it?
Property of deleting next characters is directly related to the amount of normal* characters used in tooltips.
*aka everything that isn't zero width space

Sometimes your tooltip is perfect and you delete next characters
But then adding just 1 more makes the tooltip not delete again...
Which isn’t an issue, just adding 2 more solves the problem!

and this applies to every no_space tooltip, next "deleting amount" is always 3 characters longer than the previous.

*minor exeption: Sometimes there is possibility to have 1 char shorter deleting amount. It is not reliable and highly not recommended.

! and †

If you try to delete characters but there is no characters left
at the end of your string ! will appear

So solve that problem zero width spaces of your most bottom tooltip need be recoloured: {colour_start|invisible}​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​{colour_end}

colour: .id "invisible" .rgba 0 0 0 0
This will turn ! to be transparent

† sometimes happens at end of tooltip if your zero width don't delete couple characters.
just add 1 or 2 characters to make tooltip with deleting property to solve this problem.

How to Use no-space tooltip

Depend what you want achieve:
But i have couple usually wanted examples.

All skills have 2 modes and they have ugly line at bottom of skills
