Creating a password...?
« on: July 27, 2012, 12:30:35 PM »
So, i think i've got the hang of the GUI elements in Playmaker but i'm kinda curious how you would create a system to check for a specific password?

apologies if this is bleedingly simple but i'm having a brainfart today (and most of my time is getting animation finalized... since that's the biggest hurdle i have to tackle this week.)

With array maker. It already has a example project with a word match from txt document.

Hi,

 Not sure that this example is something that can be tweaked for a password management system.

 First: where would be the passwords to check against, are they online or on a file on the computer? Is it to log users? to unlock features? how are passwords generated in the first place?

bye,

more to be used as a key... so, if the player enters a "secret" password of "Password1234" (which is hard-coded in) that triggers a particular action/event/etc when they hit "ok" (or boots them to the previous GUI screen with no changes)

hi,

 Then yes, that arrayMaker example is perfect.
