set text based on count variable.

[Hyperyon]

How do I set text of actor in script editor?

You need to use the strcpy function:

Code: Select all

strcpy(text, "your text here");

[Hyperyon]

It gives me 'warning: trying to convert from cos int to '* const char' after I put in the text.

here is the code i used:

count++;

if(count==1)
{
strcpy(thetext.text, 12);
}

I'm trying to change a text from image file.
'the text' is my text actor

If you need set a number, use:

Code: Select all

thetext.textNumber =  12;

Im still not getting part of this...

I got 2 actors. Text (with text from true type)and keydown actor with a keydown event/script editor/

count++;

if (count==1)
{
strcpy(ttext.text, "greetings");
}
else if(count==2)
{
strcpy(ttext.text, "how are you?");
}

When I press the keydown, the text changes forward into count2 ("how are you") instead of the first text.

Maybe im doing it wrong in the 'copy string' window that pops up when i click on strcpy from variables/functions?

put the count++ aftyer the code.

Now it just shuffles the texts without stopping.

mmmmm, maybe its because thatthe action is always repeated.

ah, I dunno what I'm doing wrong...guess I'll resort to learning C.
