  • I'm a bit confused about how to actually implement this?

    Global string Name=Pete

    Global string Greeting=Hello {name}!

    Set Greeting to replace(Greeting, "{name}", Name)

    My global string Name is left blank (this is working so far with a regular text action)

    The global string WelcomeTest is: Hello, "{name}", welcome back ^ Good to see you blah, blah, blah) the ^ pausing the typewriter effect and waiting for a tap to advance to the next line of text after the ^.

    I'm not understanding how you 'tag' or crete a tag and attach it to the Global string Name?

  • O.K one bug smashed and another cropped up.

    I'm adding in the typewriter effect with the ^ to pause until a tap then the next part of the string loads in.

    Problem I have now is the Global Name &Name& is showing up as &Name& and not the saved name.

  • Bingo. The Layout and Event sheet were not connected.

    Thanks!

  • No reset global variables.

    It's driving me nuts.

  • Hi, I'm trying to use a global string "Name" which stores the name inputted by the player. That works.

    Now I am trying to use that on another layout to have a custom message for the player.

    It does not work on the second layout. I would also like to have it displayed as the typewriter effect.

    The script is by someone I hired on Fiverr. But I'd like to have multiple layouts that use the players name in various text objects

  • Thanks! LOL one freaking button!

    Man it was driving me crazy.

    I appreciate your help.

  • Hmm.. First thanks for posting.

    I copied another tutorial to the letter. And it works (kind of in preview)

    But two issues:

    One the confetti for some reason does not rotate through the animation frames (changing color)

    Two for some reason it does not start.

    It's layout 2 if you want to take a look.

    Here's the link to the file I copied that has a perfect working Confetti effect that I am trying to replicate:

  • Thank but Yikes! I'm trying to figure out how to use what you shared in an event sheet (I'm a newbie)

  • Hi everyone, I looked up the confetti effects in this forum but the answers all use depreciated code.

    So, I'm looking to simply have a confetti effect when a player reaches a certain score.

    The scoring I've got done but I'm stuck on the confetti effect.

  • That's pretty much what I'm looking to do but a little simpler.

    I want if the kids did a task (just one), click the button and the button is then turned off for 12 hours (so they can spam the button) and save how many "chores' they did. When it hits 30 (one per day) then give a message and reset.

    I'm not familiar with the save system yet.

  • I just figured out that ChatGPT can created construct 3 event sheets.

    I don't know if it's for the current version but for me this is a game changer.

    I can get simple tasks done then only bug he community with deeper How to questions.

    I report back in this thread how well it works.

  • Hi everyone. I want to make a chores tracker for kids that if they finish their chores for that day they click a button and it saves that progress then at the end of 30 days resets.

    Also having a child input their birthday and checking to see if it's that day.

    Looking forward to everyone's input.

    Thanks
