textNumber toggling text function ????

[tinkergnome]

hello i realize its been a long time since i've been in here ....
i've had a few lifechanging events unfold upon me since late 2013.

i was wondering about how could a textobj.textNumber affect another textobj.text in changing
it to a different word or phrase.

example:
i have this project where i have this 1st text actor that produces a number....
and when a certain number generates this 2nd text actor would produce a specific word.

i realize this example is/should be something really easy to figure out based on as much time i've put into
messing with as much as i have in this program, however, it has seriously aggravated me to being stumped.
can anyone possibly help me with this ?????

Let's say you have two objects, "object1" and "object2".

In "object1" you have a script that executes when [SPACE] key is pressed:
object1 -> Key Down: space -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

textNumber = (int) rand(10) + 1;

This code will write some number between 1 and 10.

In "object2" you want to write word "odd", or "even" depending on a number in "object1". You could do that this way:
object2 -> Draw Actor -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

if ((int) fmod(obect1.textNumber, 2) == 0) sprintf(text, "even");
else sprintf(text, "odd);

I hope this helps.

thanks for your help koala it works just fine ... i was hoping i could hear from someone on this.
and again i realized this was something that should have been easy for me to figure out. i thought at one point i almost had a solution, but it kept telling me something about a conversion error.... thanks again koala its much appreciated !
