Give items text

[dylansgames]

Hi, I am trying to make a game (obviously) and I want to make it so that if i click on a picture or maybe a book shelf that it will show a text box. I have tried and cannot figure it out. What I do, is i put an event on the thing i want to click on then add text, but when i got to click on it, nothing happens. what can i do?

You have to use the Show Text command. Right click on the contents area of the event and the select the Show Text command.

@Supreme Commander, That is what I have been doing. It works if I make the item an actor instead of a book or a painting, but when I switch the image to a book in the editor it won't show me the text.

Can I see some screenshots of what you are trying to do.

The picture displayed by the event has nothing to do with the commands that get executed by it.
So you're doing something wrong when you change that, and we need a screenshot of that event to solve the problem.


Most probably you're changing the priority of the event, because the priority defines the place where the player has to stand in order to activate it.

I changed the priority to same as the player and it is working. thanks so much guys!
