Well, storing it I assume you mean in a variable. You can add this code to a text actor to do just that.

Code: Select all

char string[] = "Hello World";
sprintf(text, "%s", string);

Of course the variable string is local to the event, so if you wanted it to be stored longer, you'd have to declare it in global code. And just to clarify, you can display text using the variable text. By setting it to something, if the actor has a font attached to it, then it will display it.

i mean the string "hello world" in a textbox that you type will pass on the other actor after pressing a command actor

Try strcpy . This will copy one string to another.

So if you have 2 actors 1 being actor and the other being the text box you can try

strcpy(actor.text, textbox.text);

oh thank you but how i can pass the value of it on a user variable?

[foleyjo]

same way. Just change text to the variable name

strcpy stands for string copy.

strcpy(actor.string, textbox.text);

theres an error:
Illegal structure operation.
suspicious pointer conversion.

here is the code when i click a actor
strcpy(tempName.string,txtName.text);
the tempName is a user variable

Write only:

Code: Select all

strcpy(tempName, txtName.text);

Yeah sorry about that.

In my example actor was the actor you wanted to copy the string to and string was the name of the string.

Write only:

Code: Select all

strcpy(tempName, txtName.text);

also error: suspicious pointer conversion
