System Action: Every Tick : Set Text to...Bug

Every time I add the above action my text is hidden.

When I delete the action, my text shows as the word "Text."

I am just following the bubble game tutorial from the book: Level Zero, page 40.

Any thoughts?

Does the book say anything about the size of the object needing to be bigger than the text?

Size of the object as in, pixel size?

But there's no mention of that anywhere.

Pixels, Kurics, felgercarbs, I dunno, that's how it works though.

I figured it out. It must be a bug.

When I type:

"Score:"&score as the action it doesn't like the dual "scores."

I changed it to "Scor:" and "Liv:" and it worked.

So now the expression reads: "Scor:"&Score

It shows up now...

You need to make the textbox bigger, so the text will show.

What a fool I am. That was exactly the problem.
