I was wondering if you can type any name in and then it is used for the rest of the game?
it's possible to do that. you just need to use variables, but i'm not the best at variables. i'm sure someone else in this forum can help you out more in this situation.
hey you need to use the
like this
in create event of a object do this
| CODE |
| global.playername = get_string('Enter a name',''); |
in drawing event
| CODE |
| draw_text(x,y,'Hi '+string(global.playername)); |
Yup. ^
This way you can also store numbers, like What's your age, then you need to use
global.age= real(get_string('Enter age',''));
In the previous post, btw, the first bit of code is wrongly spelled (its get_string) (so you're not confused)
If you know how to use variables it'll be easy for ya.
You just need the:
name = get_string("What's you name?", "Chickenman!");
show_message("Well hello "+string(name)+". What took you so long?");
show_message("Huh!?");
show_message("HUH!?");
show_message("Y' can't answer me can ya!?");
show_message("GET OUT OF HERE!!!");
