Im my game, there is a lot of talking with text, and i was wondering if there was a way to make the same actor change text instead of having a bunch of actors saying every different thing.
Anyone's help would be appreciated

Yes, you can change the text with strcpy. The actor name for actor, and you can either use a char* which is a string, or you can insert directly what you want, needs to be within double quotes if you do.

Code: Select all

strcpy(actor.text, "text goes here or a char*");

two questions. 1. Where does this script go and 2. Can i pick which font to use?

No, I think the only font you can have is the font of the text actor. I could be wrong, but I don't think so... That script would go in the event that changes the text, if a keydown would do so, you might have a conditional, and inside would be the strcpy, because what it is doing is copying whatever is in the latter part to the text of your actor.

well, i'm putting the code into the keydown event, but it doesn't let me add the event.

Works fine for me. Here is a .ged of it working.

Ok cool. it works now. Thanks
