EditPrint (Print.sc)

EditPrint(buffer maxLength [title font])

Displays an edit box so the player can enter text.

Parameters:
  • buffer (string) – A buffer in which to place the text that was entered.
  • maxLength (number) – The size of the text buffer.
  • title (string) – An optional title for the dialog.
  • font (number) – An optional font number.
Returns:

The length of the text that was input.

Example usage:

(var buffer[10])
(= buffer NULL) // Set the first character to NULL to create an empty string
EditPrint(buffer 10 "Enter your name")

Important

The buffer is also used to initialize the edit field, so it should contain an empty string if you don’t want any text there to start with.
