Adding a character to the end of a string [SOLVED]
« on: September 14, 2012, 03:42:16 AM »
Hi all,

I'm doing a few tests for a word based puzzle game I want to make.
Basically I want to add a character/letter to the end of a string by clicking on a game object, basically like a virtual keyboard. Is there an action for this I missed?


-Thanks Matt

Build string will do the trick

Thanks SJones, that is just what i needed.

For any others interested: I had a mouse down event that transitioned to a build string event. The build string action has 2 parts: the first is a global variable, the second is the letter I wanted to add and the result was set to the same global variable.

NP, I had the exact same question last week, I even saw the action when I was looking, read the description and for some stupid reason I dismissed it as not what I wanted :P
