Delete Text From Actor

dshoe · December 2010

Is there a way to delete the text displayed from a Display Text actor?

Hi dshoe, presumably you're using a text attribute for the text input in the Display Text Behaviour? Perhaps call it TextInput or something similar and gives it's value as the first line of text you want. Then when you want to have the text blank, (possibly with a Timer, if that's the way you want to do it,) use a Change Attribute Behaviour, change TextInput to (then leave a blank). Hope that helps. :-)

That wouldn't have worked because the attribute is an integer in my case but I found a work around. Thanks anyway though!

@dshoe what's the workaround? i used displaytext equals an empty text, didn't work

Change attribute:
-- TextInput to "" (the "" needs to be typed in the expression editor)
