Number Input Extension

[Gullyking]

I'm looking for an object which allows player to input a number which can then be stored in an array. I have made similar systems before, but it takes making an up button, a down button from which to change the value and a counter to store the variable which can then be ascertained by an array. What I want is for a box to appear, player inputs number, the number goes immediately into an array. Anything like that?

Don't you just want either an Edit Box or an Up/Down Numeric Control?

Does the Edit box store values, or save them as strings? I need values. Up/Down Numeric Control sounds right, is there an object like that?

It's included in Bonus Pack 1, look on the bar to the right side of the forum.

The built-in Edit Box can store values perfectly well though. You can just save the contents as a file, or if you need to use the number directly in MMF, use its "Edit Value" expression.

Note that the Edit Value expression only handles integers, it doesn't like to do floats. For that you can use the Val(>String<) expression to convert a string to a number - floating point or not.

Thanks for the help You two. I will put this info to work.
