Hi,

Sorry, so many questions but I am really excited about finding Construct.

My question is, how do I make bbcode within a textinput...

I have a chat room and I want to bold the username e.g.

username>[/] Hello...

You can style TextInput with CSS - use "Set CSS style" action.

Another option is to make your own text input using text or sprite font, then you will be able to use bbcode.

TextInput doesn't support BBcode, but the normal Text object does.

You could just use a Text object to display chat messages instead.
