  • Prefect solution, thanks.

  • That is very good information to know, thank you very much!

  • I figured it out you just add the amount of milliseconds to

    Date.ToLocaleString(Date.Now+6311385200000.1) that number of milliseconds shows the date 200 years into the future.

  • How do you change the year with the Date command ChangeYear?

    I have this in my project, Date.ToLocaleString(Date.Now) result in the current date and time "7/15/2023 4:25:37 PM" but I want to change the year as my game takes place in the future and I have a player log of events.

    I see there is a ChangeYear and I've tried Date.ChangeYear(Date.Now, 2233) but when I run that all I get is a long string of numbers "1689459781742"

    Any help would be very welcome.

  • I have a text object with text in it that I append new text with "& newline" then I want to move the old text up one line, with the ability to scroll up or down to read all the text in the text object. Is what I'm asking for even possible, or do I have to come up with a different solution, I've looked at all the scrolling examples and I'm not finding anything that does what I am looking for. Much thanks for any help.

  • Good advice, and much apricated. Sometimes you just need a fresh set of eyes to get you on another path, never even thought of making it look like that with a few graphic elements.

  • How do I create a dialog box like a windows dialog box? Something like this

  • Any code examples, I'm trying to do the same thing, but I've been unsuccessful.

  • I suppose it sure would help if I was able to describe better what I was tiring to do, so sorry about that. Thank you for trying to decipher what I was asking. The good news is I figured it out.

  • How do I press the enter key and it accept the input that's been entered in a Text Input Object?

  • Here is the object behavior settings:

    How it is being used in the event sheet.

  • On Create Object, I then want to fade the object in, it seems like it would be pretty easy, just put the fade behaver on the object, but when the object is create it fades out but not in? Even though I have fade out at zero? Any ideas?

  • Solved - The forums come through yet again!

  • I have an object overlapping a text object and it turns the text 0,0,0 (black) using set color, when the object is not over lapping the text I invert use set color to go back to the original color, in my case 0,255,102 only instead of lime green I get a blue color. I'm sure it's easy I even tried set color 100,100,100 but it just turns the text white? Any Ideas
