Hi all, I'm trying to assign the contents of a textbox into a variable, however for some reason I just can't seem to get it to work. The variable will always return null/0. The code looks like it should work as far as I can see:

Code: ags

function tInput_OnActivate(GUIControl *control)
{
  String userInput;
  userInput = tInput.Text;
  Display("Text is: %d", userInput);
}

I feel like the solution is probably really obvious, but I just can't figure it out. :/

Hey all.

Apologies if this has already been answered. I've tried looking in the manual and googling, but haven't been able to find an answer for this:

For my game I'd like the player to type in some coordinates for a simple "Please tell me where on the map <macguffin> is." type puzzle.

For illustration the code looks like this:

Code: ags

if (Parser.Said("1,1,1")) {
    Display("You gave the correct coordinate!");
  }

The problem is, the commas are being read by the engine to treat each number as a separate "word", which is giving me errors.

Is there a way to make the parser accept coordinates seperated by commas, or do I need to work around this?

Thanks,
