  • Yes - that works (but trying to style it now) Thank You !

  • My input box does NOT wrap the text with either the placeholder text OR the text as directed in the properties panel?

  • How do I place the value of a global variable in a text object? I have a variable name "headline" - I want to place the current value of this variable in an <h2> html element object. Any suggestions?

  • Add event (system > compare value)

    Add action to set potion

    Example:

    EVENT variableName (is equal to) true | ACTION SET spritePlayer X=300 Y=300

    If you need a sample I can upload you a c3p file

  • Add event (system > compare value)

    VariableName (is equal to) true

    If you need a simple example, I can post one :-)

  • I know you can access/ use Php and MySQL using the AJAX object... but can you use PHP and access MySQL db by using either the HTML object or the WEB BROWSER object?

  • The Why: I am having the user click buttons - the action then pastes a text string into the place where the cursor is placed (within the text-input object. Currently the "amend action" always places it at the end.

    The app calls for the user to choose where to paste the string - they do not know what the string is and it is dynamic so therefore it can't be hardcoded. Make sense?

    If there is an easier way, I'm all ears :-)

  • No luck, but this is my latest attempt (as stated, I have the text on the clipboard): 

    function pasteAtCursor() {
 // Get a reference to the text input object
 const input = runtime.objects.myTextInput.GetInputControl();

 // Get the current cursor position
 const startPos = input.selectionStart;
 const endPos = input.selectionEnd;

 // Read the text from the clipboard
 navigator.clipboard.readText().then((clipboardText) => {
 // Insert the clipboard text at the current cursor position
 const currentValue = input.value;
 const newValue = currentValue.substring(0, startPos) + clipboardText + currentValue.substring(endPos);
 input.value = newValue;

 // Update the cursor position to be immediately after the pasted text
 input.setSelectionRange(startPos + clipboardText.length, startPos + clipboardText.length);
 });
}

  • As a follow-up, currently I am using "amend text" but it always places at the bottom, not where the cursor is positioned.

  • How do I paste text into a text input object at the point of the cursor.?

    I want to paste "Hello World" into a text input sprite at this example location:

    Text input has "This is a test"... I want to paste in "Hello World" here...

    "This is a >paste here | This is the current cursor position< test" - the result would be:

    "This is a Hello World test"

    This is a dynamic modification so I cant simply amend as a simple replacement.

    In other words - the paste-in text could be many different text blocks.

    Thank You - d

  • Let me clarify - this works ONLY on the sprite rolled over.

    I want it to be dynamic so that I can use one script to rollover ANY sprite and that sprite's name (or UID)is placed into the variable.

    So when:

    --- I rollover Sprite1, "Sprite1" is placed in the variable.

    --- I rollover Sprite2, "Sprite2" is placed in the variable.

    --- I rollover Sprite3, "Sprite3" is placed in the variable.

    The same script for all...

    I hope this is more clear.
