  • Hey oosyrag I've been trying to get it to work with a save button, but I'm still having a bit of a problem. (This capx is an updated capx). https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ypyehb6m18y9 ... .capx?dl=0

  • Hey — Thanks, and sry for being so vague in my language. I did what you told me to do, but I still have a problem with the list. Could you look at it? Also, I'm not sure how to create a new key. It seems to be saving only one key/message... the very last key/message made.

  • I was saying that you literally did it right, but your event sheet was not linked to your layout so your event was not taking effect.

    As you type into the textbox, is is written into the dictionary object.

    I know. I did what you told me to do, and it worked, but I still don't understand how to load the different messages, like displaying the "keys" as clickable, or a search bar or something.

  • oosyrag I just don't get it:( I'm very confused. Please, can I get a tutorial, or capx example of how to write in a textbox, save it locally, and then load the different messages, again at a later time? Every tutorial I read and watch, never seems to show how to locally store what's written in a texbox. I'm a visual learner, and I just don't get the setup (and a few other things). Please, I really need help with this one. Not only would it help me out, but I'm sure it would also help out a lot of other confused people as well.

  • Hey — Can you check out my capx? I already did that, but when pressing 'debug', to check out if the key was working, it wasn't.... I used the textbox.text expression, but I don't see it saving anything happening. Also, I don't know how to load/retrieve and read the stored data/text. Can you show me what I'm not doing, or doing wrong?

  • Bump.

  • Hi xoros, I'm trying to do the same thing. Can you please help me, with an example capx or point me in the direction of a good tutorial?

  • Are you able to create this system locally for a single player?

    Write, save, and load messages using your preferred data structure. An array would be suitable.

    If you can do it locally, send the entire array or dictionary object as json to a firebase/database key which all your users can access. Everyone user will download and update the same data on your database server.

    Hey oosyrag -- and ASHLEY. Turns out, I don't know how to save textbox messages locally with dictionary and JSON... I tried to figure it out by myself, but I can't find any good tuts on how to save and retrieve the text from a textbox. Could you (or someone else) guide me in the direction a decent tutorial?

  • — To answer your question though... I'm trying to make a multiplayer game, in which every user can instantly read ant new "clues", or any new pieces of text, written in the textbox. Like a forum with categories and topics, and area to write paragraphs of clues.

  • Thanks — That cleared up a lot.

  • Please... I really need help with this one. This is my dream game:)!

  • How do I send, save, and load textbox messages with firebase, in a multiplayer setting, so every user can load and read the same saved messages?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Anyone?
