Writing text for phones

[knucklecrunchgames]

Hi all. I know how to write text on ge with the keyboard by selecting yes on input, but how do you make buttons to write.

Thanks

You would need to make a virtual keyboard, that way you can map clicks to keystrokes. And since you can't use the input box you'll need to manipulate the string yourself. Here's a simple example. Create a text actor with some default text. Then have another actor with the following mouse down event.

Code: Select all

strcat(text_actor.text, "a");

Now when the button actor is pressed, the text actor's text should insert an a.

Thanks sky. I have another question.

How would you do a backspace.

Thanks

That is part of the code, so of course he didn't! If that was an emote, he would have used tons of emotes in his posts.
