Highlight part of a word (string) in Condition

Hi,

So basically I want to check if a player is using a curse word as part of his name at the start of the game. I have a text box where he enters his game name. I know how to highlight entire words such as "curse1" but not words that are hidden in the middle of words, like "Name1Curse1Name2".

I'd like to bring up a message if "Curse1" is hidden in the middle of a name like above.

Condition:

In Textinput1 check to see if entered text contains the word or string "Curse1"

Action:

Textbox1 shows message - word is not permitted.

In this case you need to use find() expression, see my previous comment.

Shoukdn't the comparison be 'equal to'.....'1' - perform action

its nor working for some reason

No, find() returns the position of substring if found, or -1 (minus 1) if not found. That's why you check if it's equal or greater than 0.

find("abcdef", "abc") will return 0

find("abcdef", "cd") will return 2

find("abcdef", "xyz") will return -1

Thanks it works now :)

Instead of typing in the letters to be checked, is it possible to add an array in the field? So that all words in a single array can be checked against the text box entry?

Yes, you can do something like this:

Set variable badWordFound to 0
Array For each element X
 Find(Textbox.text, Array.CurValue)>=0 Set badWordFound to 1

Seems to be working but only if I have 1 entry in the array.

If I add multiple the textbox shows up empty each time, sometimes shows the last entry I made....not sure why.

I might just use your first example.

It would be much easier to help you if you post screenshots of your code.

But if I don't have a second condition to check if a word 'does not exist' how can I change the textbox back to empty (not showing the 'not allowed' message)?

dop2000 you are a genius.
