how do i load a text file?

[DarkParadox]

i need a code that will load a .txt file according to a text actor's text
now all i need is the code above

[Azou]

I have just one solution:
Make the txt to be an animation
An then
Key down--Your key---Change animation/Txt into txt 2
Is it that,Diormeh?

[DarkParadox]

no, it isn't.
i wanted it to go on forever and it HAS to be a text actor

I don't know how to read and write files successfully yet so I'll leave that part to someone else.

Look the thread:

To put the whole text in a single actor text, you can use:

Code: Select all

void readtext(char *fileName, char *s)
{
    int c;
    FILE *fp = fopen(fileName, "r");
    if(fp)
    { 
      while((c = fgetc(fp)) >= 0) *s++ = c;
      fclose(fp);
    }

    *s = 0;
}

And call in some action:

Code: Select all

readLines("myfile.txt", mytextactor.text);

The file must exists in the same folder of the game.
