Unusual Problem with the String Object

[Martin_Bodger]

Objects used:

TV text trigger = Active Object trigger

Base = An active that moves the player around, it is placed at the characters feet

TV Text = String object with text in it

Item recognition text = Empty string object

Here are the events that i used:

IF: ("Base") is overlapping ("TV text trigger")
*IF: Upon pressing X

ACT: Toggle internal flag 1 of ("TV text trigger")

IF: ("TV text trigger") internal flag 1 is on
*IF: Every 5 milliseconds

ACT: Change Alt string to "Left$(string$( "TV Text" ), Len(string$( "Item recognition text" ))+1)"

IF: ("TV text trigger") internal flag 1 is off

ACT: Change Alt string to ""

Now that works, but when i try and do that same for other strings of text the whole thing just doesn't work.

I'm not sure why it doesn't work because it looks fine to me.

It's most likely because you're not eventing the other objects properly.

No, there the same as the others.
