log in listbox updates after long time lag

Hello,

I am using a number of listboxes to log detail for each different sprite in the game. To this end i have a function that takes as parameter the name of a sprite and a message, and then displays the message in the listbox of that sprite by name.

I notice that theo listboxes don't update in real time but rather, they stay clear and then after several seconds they update in bursts with lots of messages appearing.

I am not sure why this is the case.

Is there a way to make the text appear at the time is written --

thanks,

Dan

Can you post your project file? Or a screenshot of your code?

I quite often do something similar, but instead of using a listbox, I use a text input box set to be a textarea. This updates as things happen and allows you to scroll through the output. Just remember to append a newline at the end of each message.

another thing you can do is output messages to the browser console.

Thank you.

One reason i use a listbox is that i add message to the top - so i can always see the last posted item.

I'll try textboxes again and see how it goes.

thanks,

Dan

To add a message to the top of textbox, use Set text to NewMessage & newline & Textbox.text

Or you can use "Scroll to bottom" action.
