I’ve noticed a few issues when using Canvas->WrappedPrint() while using centering and scaling. First of all, if you center on Y, it ends up printing every line at the same y, so you get a whole bunch of overlapped strings.
Secondly, if you center on x and then pass in scaling, it will scale the text, but it won’t take into account scaling when calculating the line length used when centering. For example, if the line is 100 pixels wide and your centered position is at (50,50) at scale 1.0, it will print the string starting at (50 - (100/2), 50) = (0,50). If you then try to scale the whole hud to 50% to fit a smaller screen, so the text takes up half the width, it will still use 200 pixels as the string length. This will give (50scale - (100/2), 50scale) = (-25, 25), with the string starting off the screen, while the actual drawn length of the string will be properly scaled and only take up 50 pixels.
Thank you for your report.

Hi ,
Are you creating this HUD in C++ or blueprints?
