Custom Input Text Errors?

[Hblade]

I found a work around this thats less coding as well

DUDE I CANT SEEM TO TURN MY HEAD WITHOUT ANOTHER PROBLEM!

This one is VERY weird! For some reason (no matter what key I press), there are 2 keys that type out with this code, those keys are "I" and "M" Even backspace for SOME unknown reason. Heres the code, it's in a key down event, with "any key" as the keys I'm doing it this way for a reason.

Code: Select all

char *key=GetKeyState();
if (inputting_name == 1)
{
    //Lower case keys
    if (strlen(text)<9)
    {
        if (key[KEY_a] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "a");
        }
        if (key[KEY_b] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "b");
        }
        if (key[KEY_c] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "c");
        }
        if (key[KEY_d] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "d");
        }
        if (key[KEY_e] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "e");
        }
        if (key[KEY_f] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "f");
        }
        if (key[KEY_g] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "g");
        }
        if (key[KEY_h] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "h");
        }
        if (key[KEY_i] = 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "i");
        }
        if (key[KEY_j] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "j");
        }
        if (key[KEY_k] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "k");
        }
        if (key[KEY_l] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "l");
        }
        if (key[KEY_m] == 1);
        {
            strcat(text, "m");
        }
        if (key[KEY_n] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "n");
        }
        if (key[KEY_o] == 1)
        {
            strcat(text, "o");
        }
        if (key[KEY_p] == 1)
        {
        strcat(text, "p");
        }
        if (key[KEY_q] == 1)
        {
        strcat(text, "q");
        }
    }
    //Backspace and Space keys
    if (key[KEY_BACKSPACE] == 1)
    {
        if (strlen(text)>0)
        {
            strcpy(&text[strlen(text)-1], "");
        }
    }
}

Try use:
strcpy(&text[strlen(text)-1], " ");

[Bee-Ant]

Or use this method :
-) Make variables :

Code: Select all

char Text[8];
int text_index;

-) TextActor->CreateActor

Code: Select all

int i;
for(i=0;i<8;i++)
{
    strcpy(Text[i]," ");
}

-) TextActor->DrawActor

Code: Select all

sprintf(text,"%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s",Text[0],Text[1],Text[2],Text[3],Text[4],Text[5],Text[6],Text[7]);

-) TextActor->Keydown->Any Key

Code: Select all

strcpy(Text[text_index],getKeyText(getLastKey()));
text_index++;

Awesome, now do you know of any way I can apply a blinker to this?

[Bee-Ant]

A blinker?
I dont know with animated blinker, but you may could add this :
- change the array size of Text to 9. Text[9]
- add this code in the DrawActor :

Code: Select all

strcpy(Text[text_index+1],"|");

[Hblade]

I tried an animated blinker, but when ever I pressed a key (while the blinker was being displayed), it applied the blinker as well so you see a big line in the sentence xD

It seems, i need to make a demo...

[Hblade]

Lol, you forgot the .ged, you have the .undo file lol...

[Bee-Ant]

Oh, sorry...
Here's

[Hblade]

Thanks but now I cant view it lol. I dont have GE anymore :O I'm trying my best to get a virtual machine to run atleast decent on Ubuntu
This is an old computer. I know if I had Debian, it'd run smooth but Ubuntu has performance issues

[Hblade]

Lol dont press backspace o.o
