Swap text

titos

I try to swap the text on the same actor to something else, but the old text stay there.

I placed the text first time with A-text display.

Hi Titos,

I do have the same problem and I´m wondering if there is nor solution for it?

In the moment the only solution for me is to use the timer function like

- after xy seconds
- display text "aaaaa" for xx seconds

- after yz seconds
-display text "bbbbb" for yy seconds

But when you do have a lot of text it would be much easyer if there is a possiblity to say

display text "aaaaa" for xx seconds
display text "bbbbb" for xx seconds

but this doesn´t work, because text won´t swap and "aaaaa" stays behind "bbbbb".

Doesn´t anyone have an idea?

use a attribte to trigger each text. You can call it textdata or something (doesnt matter what u call it)

when attribute textdata= 1
-display first text

when attribute textdata =2
- display different second text

and so on. Then you can change that attribute wheneevr you want to switch between texts. And it wont show the old one behind because it wont be active cause it wont meet the condition in the rule when u switch the attribute
