i would like some help with the "text" object

hi everyone

i have run across a little problem but i cant find a solution so id like to ask for help here

my problem:

i have a text object in my scene with some text in it

there is also a edit box in the scene where players can type stuff in

i know how i can send the text from the edit box to the text object so that it replaces the old text

or how to use a event to change the text.

and that is the problem.

i dont want the text typed in the edit box to override the text in the text object but i want to Add it to the text object without overriding the old text so it gets below the already existing tekst

and i would like to edit multiple lines and i just cant figure out how.

i know you can do that if you double click the text object but you cant edit it like that in the event window.

here is a example:

text object = "hello everyone"

edit box object = "hello"

now i get

text object = "hello"

but i want

text object =

"hello everyone"

"hello"

im sorry if i am a little vague

my internship depends on it:P

if i get the internship i will be under a non disclosure contract so i cant talk about my project now

i hope someone can help me:)

thank you very much!!

i have been trying things for over a day now!!

i came up with this idea to add lines to a text object:

set text
textfile.Text & NewLine &  "please wait a moment..."[/code:v9y4o77a]

textfile is the name of the text object
is this a correct method??

if someone has a better solution please tell me
oh and one other little thing:  
can i make the background of the edit box transparant and change the text colour??

set text
textfile.Text & NewLine &  "please wait a moment..."[/code:w5umtw6p]

textfile is the name of the text object
is this a correct method??

Yep.

Nope.

Just make your own custom edit box if you want to change the appearance of it:
