Telephone/Keypad GUI Help

[Tenacious Stu]

want to create a GUI with Buttons on, so that when the player presses them in a certain sequence, something happens. But I just don't even know where to start with this one. I'm just wondering how you would write the script so that when a button is pressed the number is added to a sequence and then some way for the game to know if the sequence correlates with the correct answer?

Thanks in advance for any replies

One way is too add the keypress to a String.
I'd create the ten buttons so that their ID corresponds to the keypad key they represent.
Then you can put "keypad_OnClick" in all their On Click event fields and use a single function:

Code: ags

function keypad_OnClick(GUICointrol*gc, MouseButton button) {
  int a = gc.ID;    //  or gc.AsButton.ID if that doesn't work.
  entered_combo = String.Format("%s%d", entered_combo, a);  // append pressed key
  
  if (entered_combo == "1234") blah();
}

You can use another button to clear the entered_combo String, or you can check the last 4 chars only so that the player doesn't have to clear previous input.

It all depends on how exactly you want the keypad to operate.
