Depositing money by TextBox (SOLVED)

[R4L]

Ok, I have a GUI and I have a text box where you can enter money amounts(money is game.score) to store in the bank after clicking on a checkmark button. I had this in my script for the GUI called DEPOSIT:

if (interface==DEPOSIT){
if (button==2){
GetTextBoxText(DEPOSIT,1,"deposit");
GiveScore(-deposit);
}
}
Button 2 refers to the checkmark box, which means OK.
It didn't work but I thought it would. Is there something I am missing or am I completely wrong? Thanks.

1.
The last parameter of GetTextBoxText is a string - make sure you've declared string deposit; somewhere, and take away the inverted commas (") around it.

2.
Since it's a string, you can't use it in GiveScore() commands. Add a StringtoInt(deposit) command in there, something like:

Code: ags

if (button==2){
string deposit; // If you haven't declared it already - ignore if you have
GetTextBoxText(DEPOSIT,1,deposit);
int dep = StringToInt (deposit);
GiveScore(-dep);
}

Oh yeah, I forget about these functions! Thanks Ashen.

EDIT: Can I add code to let the player only enter numbers into the text box and limit the amount of numbers?

It's a little rough (letters/extra numbers appear for a second, then vanish) but something like this should work:

Create another string, called temp, then paste this into repeatedly_execute:

Code: ags

if (IsGUIOn (DEPOSIT)) {
    GetTextBoxText(DEPOSIT, 2, temp);
    int length = StrLen(temp);
    if (length > 0 && length < 4) { // Replace 4 with the maximum numbers you want
      int chara = StrGetCharAt(temp, length-1);
      if (chara < 48 || chara > 57) {
        StrSetCharAt(temp, length-1, 0);
      }
    }
    else if (length > 4) StrSetCharAt(temp, 4, 0);
    SetTextBoxText(DEPOSIT, 2, temp);
}

(You might have to put it in rep_ex_always, if DEPOSIT is popup-modal.)

Beyond that, maybe you could add a keypad to the GUI and use a label, rather than a textbox and the actual keyboard. That'd probably make it easier to limit the input.

Thanks Ashen. One question though. If the GUI is off but is Normal is that okay?

EDIT: I think it might work, I just have to get home to try it!
