  • Hi there, I'm wondering is it possible to delete a sentence from an array? Or perhaps select a line of dialogue within text?

  • I assume you have one element of the array that is a block of text?

    you can use find() and rewrite the string and reassign without whatever you find. you could use a combination of the left() and right() or maybe you can use replace()?

    That's a good idea. Using the replace function works! I'm hoping to replace every line as it's presented in text, but for some reason I'm stuck in a text loop. The game keeps showing me the 2nd, and 3rd line of text instead of moving on the next line of dialogue as I've stacked every line in a single array.

    Example: "hi there. how are you. what's that."

  • It seems to delete the sentence the first time, but for some reason returns the sentence already deleted after pressing the button a 2nd time.

  • what are you using those 'wait's for?

  • That's so everything works correctly. I have the code set to wait right after "." appears, then carry the sentence to the next line in array.

    For some reason the code will only show me the first 2 lines.

    Line1 "Hi." Line2 "What's up."

  • can you post a simplified .c3 project file? its hard to tell from that snapshot.

  • Whoops, I just noticed the mistake I made in the code. I've been using the array to compare the 2 text when I should have transferred the array text to a variable. I'm actually shocked how well this works.
