  • Hello,

    I saw that "BBCODE tag ranges" example makes it possible to make a word in spritefont react to touch.

    But I'd like to set up a function that click on a word triggers an action.

    I though of something like a tag that would tell every word with this tag acts as a button (ie [tag=button] but another tag would be useful to indicate an ID to that button. Or maybe some regex could be involved to decrypt a tag in the form [tag=button/3].

    Then, using a json to connect ID with an action, I'd be able to trigger a given action with a click on given word.

    Any idea how this could be achieved ?

  • You can use the TagAtPosition expression and then run the corresponding function for each tag. Or you can look up that tag in an array/dictionary/JSON to retrieve any additional information associated with it. 

    + Mouse: On Left button Clicked on SpriteFont
 | Local string tag‎ = 
----+ (no conditions)
-----> System: Set tag to SpriteFont.TagAtPosition(Mouse.X, Mouse.Y)

----+ System: tag = "foo"
-----> Functions: Call Foo

----+ System: tag = "bar"
-----> Functions: Call Bar

  • Thank you !
