How do I make an actor with display text invisible?

Hi

I want the text from a display text to be invisible until I touch another actor.
I have set the alpha to 0 to hide the actor. When I tried to set the actors visibility to 0, off or false I still get the text displaying.

    Make a boolean Attribute called Display text. And go into the other actor and make a rule. When touch is pressed
    Change Attribute game.Display text to true

    Go into the display text actor and make a rule.

    When attribute game.Display Text is true

    Display Text!

    Hope this helps!

    Just tried and it doesn't seem to be working. If the text has already been displayed, will this rule make it disappear again? Or does it just keep the text from being displayed in the first place?

    You can also display an empty string once you need the text to go away, however the boolean should work.

    Sometimes it is easier to hide the actor of screen. Just make the x coordinate negative.
