  • Hello!

    I am working on the input, and I don't like the looks of the text box (1. it is html 2. it won't use spritefont)

    so I want to build my own.

    Now I am on a problem:

    To intercept keyboard input we use keycode, and keycode to string.

    Ok!

    But.. Not everyone have same keycode for some of the special characters. For example to get $ I have to press Alt Gr + 4 (on Nordic keyboard), but for an American user they just need to press Shift and 4.

    There's many more of those examples, even with simpler characters such as * ? and so on.

    How do I do in this case?

  • Ok now it works. I must have put the events in wrong place before.

    Thanks folks!

  • I managed to get what you meant now!

    At first I was so confused, and I had to reinpret it a bit.

    On the time I had to add a boolean to be true, and then add that boolean in the spam version.

    And mouse click end = setting boolean false.

    Hopefully it will work now!

  • Looks like the second pix fell away. Wasn't able to add it back in.

  • I have this.

    These two are identical, but one is mouse down.

    What I want it to do is let individual clicks pass, but also let pressing down mousebutton work, after a tiny while, long enough for the user to presumtive click and release mouse button for individual input? (or a tiny bit longer)

    With having both events going on, the mousedown of course kicks in at once.

    I hope I am able to explain what I want.

    For context: it is to adjust a number in gui. Pressing down button will spam and do it uncontrollable way, while single clicks is tedious if you want to adjust from let's say 0 to 60.

    Here's a pic to show what I mean.

    Thank you!!

  • Hello.

    What title says.

    I know this seem simple but won't work for me by some reasons.

    I tried to use variable to keep track of "key is down, key is pressed".

    So I was wondering if anyone have done a elegant solution for these needs?

  • I can answer: I forgot I had a content clearing routine going on.

    Answer: No it will not clear content.

  • Hello!

    If I do

    Tilemap Set Size to (new size in W and H)

    It will always result in empty tilesize, and the pre-existing content will be deleted?

    This is just a question to make sure that this is the correct way above event will behave.

    If yes, then I will need to move to temporary array. I know how to do it, I just wanted to be sure.

  • Late reply, but I wanted to tell that I used your example (with my own modifications) and it is working beautifully.

    Thanks again!

  • Thank you for writing this for people in need.

  • Thank you for clear answer.

    I already went with loops as described and it works nicely. It is just a couple lines more, so it is ok!

  • Hello.

    I have a quick question.

    It is easy to load over from one array to other by using the load as json.

    I tried to load an array with the data from one tilemap using similar method. But it didn't work in my project.

    Is it simply two different formats and I have to manually transfer the data in loops or did I do wrong?

    I did this:

    ARRAY load from JSON string (tilemap.json)
