If the entire sprite needs to be colored, then you can simply add a condition - Sprite is overlapping Mask : Sprite set effect "Grayscale" disabled.

.

If you want to show only the overlapping part of the sprite in color, I'm not sure how to do it. Maybe this will help:

You need to break the text into words and check each word separately. You can try something like this:

Boolean swearWordFound
Text variable s

Set s to InputBox.text

// first replacing spaces and other punctuation marks with commas ","
Set s to replace(s, " ", ",")
Set s to replace(s, ".", ",")
Set s to replace(s, "!", ",")
Set s to replace(s, "?", ",")

// now checking each word 
Repeat tokencount(s, ",")
SwearWordsDictionary key tokenat(s, loopindex, ",") exists 
.... Set swearWordFound = true

This code may be in the general sheet. Make sure it's included in all layouts. Double-check that you made everything exactly as in my screenshot. If it doesn't work, please post your project file.

.

Sorry, forgot to add - your room layouts should be named Room0, Room1, Room2.

Or you can change the action like this:

Go To Layout "Room" & (AdvancedRandom.permutation(permutationIndex)+1)

then you can name layouts Room1, Room2, Room3.

Here is a demo I made a long time ago. It's not very good, but you may get some useful ideas from it:

And this example shows how to switch between primary and secondary weapons:

You can use AdvancedRandom plugin to create a non-repeating random list of rooms:

To get the text built during the last Continue action, use the LastText expression.

The actual displaying of text on the screen is up to you, using whatever means you'd want to use within Construct.

So I guess it's something like:

MyText set text to Ink.LastText

Using UIDs like this is not a very good practice. Because in a couple of weeks or months time you won't remember what UID 45 means. Also, UIDs may change, for example if you decide to copy and paste these buttons. It's always better to use instance variables to identify instances.

Sprite Load image from URL -> there you can choose either to keep current size, or resize to image size.

Have you tried uninstalling the game completely, and installing it again?

You need to use Spritefont.TextWidth and Spritefont.TextHeight expressions. Set text to the spritefont, then resize the 9patch using those expressions.
