Strcpy in global code?

[Novice]

Hi,
im trying to make a function that uses strcpy to display text on a text actor, but for some reason it refuses to work . So i shoretened it to a minimum, but it still wont work. I've tried every type of function but it's all the same. It seems that strcpy wont work from global script editor to display text.

Code: Select all

void say()
{
strcpy(txt.text, "Hello");
}


and

Code: Select all

char *say()
{
  strcpy(txt.text, "hello");

 return NULL;
}

and other things.
Can someone tell me the right syntax for this, i've read all topics containing "strcpy" but no luck.
TIA

The problem is nor strcpy, but you try change actors variables in a global code. To works, you need put some reference to used actors in the caller script. If you are using the txt actor, you need use this actor in the caller script, evn in a comment, like this:

//txt <- Your reference
say();
