Custom Input Box for search

[magintz]

I'm trying to use a sort of search engine in my game. I do not want to use the default one, but a simple one with a text box, go button, and quit button, but nothing seems to want to work.

if (interface == PARSER) {
 if (button == 2) {
   if (GetTextBoxText(7,0,input)) {
      if (StrCaseComp(input, "llama")==0) {Display("YAY");}
       else {Display("NAY");}}}
   
 else if (button == 3)
   NewRoom(2);
   GUIOff(PARSER);
   

}}

can someone help me get ti to work?

Assuming that PARSER is GUI 7 and your textbox is object 0, and this code is in interface_click with all the other numbers etc. correct, it looks fine to me.

But then I haven't done much with GUIs myself...

Yes PARSER is GUI 7
Yes textbox is object0
Yes the code is in the GUI script section
No it doesn't work

I've also now tried

if (interface == 7) {
 if (button == 2) {
   GetTextBoxText(7,0,input);
ParseText(input);
if (Said("llama")) {
 SetTextBoxText(7,0,"");
 Display("YAY");}
}

 else if (button == 3) {
   NewRoom(2);
   GUIOff(7);}

What, exactly, is it that won't work?
Does none of the buttons work or just not the search button?

[magintz]

Neither of the buttons work... I can type stuff in and press the buttons but nothing happens... nothing at all

Thats the GUI below... please help

should be GUI 7 (PARSER)

Ok, I found your error.
You have a bracket too little just before if (interface == PARSER) and one too many in the end of the script.

Thanks... why does it always have to be such a simple mistake :@(

I'm now getting a problem...
