clearing text window?

the19thbear

Hi! can i clean the text display?
if i display one text and, lets say, press a button that changes the text - then the new text is on top of the old one... is there a way to clean the "slate" or do i really have to create a new actor with new text instead?(and destroy the old one)
thanks!:)

Well, if you had a spawn text Actor then yeah just destroy and spawn....

Create a text attribute ( I think )
When Event Change text to "poo poo" and one of those ideas will work.

Use a attribute and all you need is one actor

If attribute text=1 display text: a

if attrubte text =2 display text : b

and so on with each display text having the text u want in it

Any ideas? There should be a way to do it...
