text input as command

[Superbeni]

I want to make something like a command line, the user can write in a command, presses enter (or a button) and if the command ist right, something happens.

But my actor for the text ignores the key down event.
I wrote the command, pressed enter, but nothing happend.

What could be my mistake?

That must be a very big game, if you really want to do something with that!
But if you could give us a .ged, we could take a look at it.

I have to make something similar, because we had to make an educational game for school, but I'm only halfway with the function.

It´s only a small part of the game, so I will make a new ged.
Will be here soon.

very easy demo to show the problem.

Any Ideas?

You can't compare strings that way, only chars. To do what you want, you need to use strcmp, this ged shows a working example. strcmp takes two strings, and if they are the same, like you want, it gives back a zero. So put that into an if statement, and it will work how you want it to.

Works, thanks!
