Help with text (code) please help

Help
#1

I’m trying to make it so if the player types a certain text it switches another frame but I can’t make it so it can recognize the text

#2

Dude! I also need help with code, Because when I try to use the " random.float " script/code thingy. It doesn’t!

#3

If you go to the wick editor web site and go to learn it should help you

#4

Okay, I’ll check

#5

Did it work?

#6

Yeah it did.

#7

Let’s go :D

#8

I was able to fix it by outing let and only adding 2 equal signs

#9

Text is handled partially like Clips.
Use this as an example:

// prompts are better than text inputs in Wick, the input is experimental...
var response = prompt("What frame should we go to?");
var where = parseInt(ressponse); // use parseInt to turn String into Number
if (!isNan(where)) { // parseInt returns NaN (Not a Number) when it's a string.
  // if the parsed string is a valid int-like float, then go there!
  gotoAndStop(where);
} else {
  alert("Hey buddy! Type a number!"); // if the number is NaN, then ask again
}

Some text handling code:

if (!isNan(where)) myTextThing.setText(where); // this should work if:
// you named the text myTextThing.

Thanks, I was able to fix it because it was doing === instead of ==

#11

Oh… Now it makes sense.

1 == "1" // true
1 === "1" // false

Note: The creator of JavaScript made the == quirky. Because he wanted to help beginners in the 90s, where the majority of sites were a Perl-Powered mess.

Oh, that’s cool!!!

#13

Btw since you now a good amount of code do you use a game engine?

#14

I’m not making games, but if I ever make any, I would make a vector game engine, with tools, like Adobe Ilustrator, but a game.

#15

Ah, ok. If you ever do want to though godot is really good

#16

You should bring the stick man characters into the real world in a part
