MooClick Help

[Humbugle]

Howdy there,

I've been using MMF2 on and off for about 3 months now but I've not really gone out of the range of what I knew early on so consider me a bit of a newbie with the program.

I'm trying to learn how to use MooClick to make a very simple game, and I found a tutorial on it however there's a single line which I'm not entirely sure how to do...

The main condition/event is:

MooClick: Channel - On Sign On
- String: Set alterable string to Signed On
- Create Your Player object at 150,100
- MooClick: Channel - Send Str$( X( Your Player ) ) + , + Str$( Y( Your Player ) ) on subchannel 0


But I can't see anywhere how to get the line
"- String: Set alterable string to Signed On "
Or at least the tutorial wasn't specific enough on what I'm setting the alterable string of... But I'm the only person who seemed to get stuck here

As I said I don't need any major help just this single line and I'll try and continue with the tutorial and hopefully get the gist

There is also 2 instances where it says either:

- MooClick: Channel - Send Str$( X( Your Player ) ) + , + Str$( Y( Your Player ) ) on subchannel 0

Or similar... did he mean to put quotations around the comma? Otherwise I can't input that line :/

Thankyou!

this "set alterable string" is an action of String object. (don't confuse it with Edit Object).

You are right, you need to put quotations around the comma, as this is a string (",").

oh lord how did I not see that agh... Aye, I got a bit confused 'cause the guy never said to make a string item... though he said to make a String Parser so I assumed he was talking about that.

I see now thankyou for clearing it up!

No problem, it's always a pleasure to help people like you, you're asking for precise help, and not "how can I make my game ? more questions will come later".

Hope your tests are going well. At the moment we are in a strange position regarding MooClick : it's not updated anymore, and has some (rather minor) issues. OINC will probably replace MooClick soon, but it's not finished yet (Beta version I think). There is a part of this forum dedicated to OINC, and it has some nice video tutorial too. I don't know if you'd better learn MooClick or jump straight to OINC. Anyway what your learn in MooClick will help you with OINC someday.

Corentin, you don't need the string object.

Alterable Strings are under Special Conditions.

[Humbugle]

D'ya know... Since I'm learning now I might as well switch to the newer thing... I'll go have a gander! Thank you again

Actually please ignore my other response.

I forgot that the item you are talking about is called the String Object, I thought it was Text something or other.

Yes Alterable Strings in MMF2 like Global Strings are different.

You NEED to use the string object, it displays text.
