How do I Change texts

Hey guys,

I want a text to constantly(and randomly) change texts.

So what i mean is -

The code will have the words - hello, hi , bye

One min it shows - hello

the next min bye

the next min hello

the next min hi

and so on

So i want it to change every time the user presses a button or so.

How do i do this?

Thanks,

Ashwin

So which is it?

It seems you want to know 1 or more of the following:

Q: How to change text to different words

A: System:Every tick -> textObject:set text to "hello"

Q: How to do something randomly

A:

System: Every tick -> Set MyVar to random(1, 5) (or choose( 1,2,3,4,5))

System: MyVar = 1 -> action 1

Else

System: MyVar = 2 -> action 2

(etc)

Q: How to do something every so often

A: System: Every 1.0 seconds -> action

Q: How to do something when the user presses a button/sprite

A: Touch: On tap gesture on MySprite -> action

Maybe you can put it all together

Edit:

Hint: Use an array to store the words, then use the randomly chosen number as the index into the array

Depends on how many choices and how the text is stored. If it's just a few words, then simply do something like:

On clicked - Text Set Text to choose("Hello", "Goodbye","Booyah!","etc")

So i did a quick thing, although i'm a beginner in construct 2 xD.. and i added two methods (by waiting 5 seconds or by pressing "X") well, i hope this is what you wished for:[attachment=0:3lqe6zlv][/attachment:3lqe6zlv]
