Assign the first one to the object's Create event and the second one to the object's Step event.Īdd the following code in the initTextInput script. For that, create two new scripts: initTextInput and updateTextInput. To change that behaviour, we will need to use another variable to hold and draw the user input. Try typing the symbol and see for yourself: instead of showing #, you will get a line break. GML uses the '#' symbol to represent a new line/line break. Use the backspace key and notice that GMS takes care of deleting characters (see figure below). You should see what you type in the game screen, starting at (10, 10). clear its contents).įor this article, create a GMS project and add a room, an object, a font and, for now, a script called drawTextInput (see figure below).Īdd a Draw event in the object and call the script drawTextInput as the only Draw event action (see figure below).įinally, add one instance of the object in the room (see figure below).Īdd the following code in the drawTextInput script, changing the font resource name according to yours. Also, this variable is writable so we can manipulate it via code (e.g. GMS deletes the last character if the backspace key is pressed so you do not have to worry about that. If you use checkerboard tiles you'll have to alter the size of the room or odd numbered room sizes to the effect to work right.Luckily for GMS developers, GMS provides a keyboard_string variable that holds a string containing the characters typed on the keyboard (up to 1024 characters). Getting the tiling is the trickiest part. Either it'll be really noticeable or teleport the object multiply times and appear like you hit an invisible wall. If its less than the view width, it won't work as intended. In the example above I'm using a 32x32 grid. Ideally you'd want something that is at a grid point. So if you're view is 720 pixels wide then you the trigger to be no less than 360 pixels. You'll have to figure out the exact location but the basic idea is you want the cut off point to be greater than half of the view. (That's actual code from my current project.) Then you do something like this: if(ob_player.x 1856) In that boarder you make it look like the other end of the room. (This assumes you have a view active that is centered on the player.)įirst thing you have to do is create a boarder around your room that is half or more the width (and height) of your view. You will have to "teleport" your character, but if you do it right you won't notice it. The next gm(48) will take place on Oct 20, 2018.
