Story Text to GUI Boxes

Hello,

I'm attempting to have text that is cycled through a series of boxes with player interaction advancing to the next box with its block of text. Right now t$$anonymous$$ngs are as below, and it works fine.

What I'd like to do is to write the text for the story, and have a function that converts that into the box text. Right now I'm t$$anonymous$$nking, where: box height = h, box width = w, character width = c, character height = H
at the character in the string at ((w/c)-1) appending "-"+"/n" if mid word or if a space just "/n" at that position, then after h/H lines cutting the text at the space nearest to the end of the line and starting from there in the next box.

I'm not entirely sure how to implement t$$anonymous$$s though, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for your time.

[EDIT] I did some more reading through the manual and found the wordWrap and lineHeight functions, w$$anonymous$$ch are a step in the right direction. Still unsure as to how to cut the string after a set number of lines and start a new box though.

 public class Story : MonoBehaviour
 {

 public Texture boxTexture;
 const int BOX_HEIGHT = 64;
 const int BOX_WIDTH = 256;
 const int SPEAKER_BOX_WIDTH = 64;

 public int storyCounter = 0;

 void Update () 
 {
 
     if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
     {
         storyCounter++;
     }
 }

 void OnGUI()
 {
     if (storyCounter == 0)
     {
         GUI.Box(new Rect(0, Screen.height - BOX_HEIGHT, SPEAKER_BOX_WIDTH, BOX_HEIGHT, boxTexture);
         GUI.Box(new Rect(SPEAKER_BOX_WIDTH, Screen.height - BOX_HEIGHT, BOX_WIDTH, BOX_HEIGHT), "Welcome (click to continue) ");
     }
     if (storyCounter == 1)
     {
         GUI.Box(new Rect(0, Screen.height - BOX_HEIGHT, SPEAKER_BOX_WIDTH, BOX_HEIGHT), boxTexture);
         GUI.Box(new Rect(SPEAKER_BOX_WIDTH, Screen.height -BOX_HEIGHT, BOX_WIDTH, BOX_HEIGHT), "Text");
     }
   
 }

 }

[SECOND EDIT] I t$$anonymous$$nk I'm making some headway.

 public class Story : MonoBehaviour {

 public Texture boxTexture;
 const int BOX_HEIGHT = 64;
 const int BOX_WIDTH = 256;
 const int SPEAKER_BOX_WIDTH = 64;
   
 public int storyCounter = 0;
 public int maxLinesInBox;
 string story = "text";

 int storyLineLength;
   
 public int LinesInBox(int lineH)
 {       
     int linesInBox = BOX_HEIGHT / lineH;

     return linesInBox;
 }
 
 
 void Update () {
 
     if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
     {
         storyCounter++;
     }
 }

 void OnGUI()
 {
     
     if (storyCounter == 0)
     {
         GUI.Box(new Rect(0, Screen.height - BOX_HEIGHT, SPEAKER_BOX_WIDTH, BOX_HEIGHT), boxTexture);
         GUI.Box(new Rect(SPEAKER_BOX_WIDTH, Screen.height - BOX_HEIGHT, BOX_WIDTH, BOX_HEIGHT), "Welcome  (click to continue) ");
         Debug.Log(GUI.skin.box.lineHeight);
         Debug.Log(GUI.skin.box.wordWrap = true);
         Debug.Log(GUI.skin.box.clipping);
         maxLinesInBox = LinesInBox((int)GUI.skin.box.lineHeight);
         storyLineLength = story.Length / maxLinesInBox;
         Debug.Log("story line length:" + storyLineLength + ", story string length: " + story.Length + ", max box lines:" + maxLinesInBox);
     }
 }
 }

From here, I tried placing the below after the (storyCounter == 0) statement

         for(int i = 0; i <= storyCounter; i++) { 
         char[] arr = story.ToCharArray((storyCounter-1) * (storyLineLength-1), (storyCounter) * (storyLineLength-1));
         string temp = new string(arr);
         GUI.Box(new Rect(0, Screen.height - BOX_HEIGHT, SPEAKER_BOX_WIDTH, BOX_HEIGHT), boxTexture);
         GUI.Box(new Rect(SPEAKER_BOX_WIDTH, Screen.height - BOX_HEIGHT, BOX_WIDTH, BOX_HEIGHT), temp);

         if (storyCounter * storyLineLength >= story.Length)
         {
             break;
         } 

It's sort of working, but it's throwing two argument out of range errors for the index, the first loop throws a "<0" error, the last throws "must be greater than the length of the string". It's showing the first loop's block of text, but not the last.
