help regarding actor destroying after accepting data

kieron13

I am looking to create an input box/actor that will accept input boolean data and after that to disappear(destroy) and another box to appear in that place with the value the user entered. I have done everything except from the part of disappearing. Anybody can help me with this?

Please not that i will have a button that will recall the function of adding the data in the box.

How do you accept input boolean data? Are you wanting the player to type in "true" or "false"?

Sorry my mistake. Not boolean. Integer. Yes the user will type the numbers

Create a text attribute called game.input and an integer attribute called game.inputValue.

Set up these rules:

If touch is pressed
     keyboard input [prompt] [attribute: game.input]

If game.input ≠ [blank]
     [no behaviors]
Else
     change attribute game.inputValue to game.input.
     Spawn actor [display actor name]
     Destroy actor

In your display actor name, use display text to show game.inputValue.

*Note that [blank] in this case is just nothing... don't type anything on the right side of the rule condition. Also, unless you use a custom keyboard, the user will be able to enter anything, such as "asdjlkgaksfd" or "999995" when they type their input. Decimals will be rounded and letters/puntuaction will be converted to zero.

Hello. I a bit confused. Actually i can not find how to add keyboard input [prompt] [attribute: game.input]

If game.input ≠ [blank]


What i did is to create the box to insert the value and save it as value1. Then i am loading the value 1 to the place i want it to appear. My problem has to do with the disappearing of the boxes that accepts the value.

So basically i want the rule: When input is added the box will destroy. Remeber i am using windows platform so please use windows information.


ps: MAc platform is amazing and much simplier. Why are you not make it the same?

I thought I did use Windows information...



If you want something to be destroyed after keyboard input, you'll have to use the rules I suggested above.
