String help please!

[Bee-Ant]

I have a string variable called password, I wanna use it as "LOG IN" stuff where you must enter your saved ID to load your saved game...but it doesnt work as my plan...

Code: Select all

if(EnterPassword.text==password)
{
    view.x+=480;
}

Then i change it to :

Code: Select all

if(EnterPassword.text=="Darkboy")
{
    view.x+=480;
}

Still doesnt work...

[Fuzzy]

if (strcmp( EnterPassword.text, password))
{
view.x+=480;
}

It stands for stringcompare.

check the GE documents for it as well as this.

String Compare...
OK...I got it

[Bee-Ant]

i put

Code: Select all

loadVars("data.dat", "atr");
if (strcmp(pass.text, names))
{
    view.x+=480;
    strcpy(garagedialog.text,"NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN");
    passord.textNumber=000000;
    lastpassword.textNumber=000000;
    PlaySound2("data/accepted.wav", 1.000000, 1, 0.000000);
}

And it accepts only names, instead of the names-value

I just found out that you need to change the code like this to check the variable value:
(at least it works)

if (strcmp(pass.text, names)==0)
{
blaa blaa
}

[Bee-Ant]

Oh...yes, it works...thanks mikey...who's really missed that
