Textbox in gamemaker

I have tried using gamemaker to see how it is. It's programming language is amazing but it lacks interactive things like textbox,which is very important for the game I am making at the moment.

So I need to write a textbox from scratch. I really like the textbox in Construct 2. How does it work?

Ashley ?

Hello

This is a forum for C2 so how do you expect someone to answer such a question with is related to gamemaker?

You should ask this in the gamemaker forum.

Is it April Fools already!

I mean, really?

No. I am just asking how C2's textbox works.

I don't want help with Gamemaker.

That's HTML, gamemaker uses GML(Syntax is similar to C# and C++)

I think C2 is also written in C++.

what you create in C2 is HTML and JavaScript.

I doubt that you will get the answer here that you are looking for, as everyone here uses C2 and not GM. Easiest to get an answer on that is by doing a screenshot of how the textbox looks like, head over to the GM Forum and ask there how it is possible to do it in GM.

And if you want to know how it works, go to the plugin folder of your C2 installation and look at the code for the textbox (which is JavaScript and HTML).

Oh . The code is their? Why didn't you tell me this before?

Heh. The Construct 2 text box is just a HTML form element floating above the canvas. Asking me to tell you how to do that in GM might be pushing the boundaries of our support a little

That's why I hate GM. Everyone needs to re-invent the wheel

Intentional or not, this thread is funny.

this thread is funny.

Can you briefly explain why you feel like that? :p
