[EDIT] : Try Nickydude's (PDF) Hint book

No, I don't think so, but what are you trying to do? I don't know why you'd want a spell checker in an FPS game.

Hi Keo C, the idea is make an adventure game for kids to learn to write well, the basic idea of the game is give clues to solve the adventure if the kid give write the correct answer (Ex. "what is this?" and the kid have a 3d telephone in front of him) he will have "directions" to go on on the game or the new mission, etc...
Thanks!

I think a form of BASIC such as Visual Basic or DarkBASIC would be best for this program. They can interface with an SQL Database (I think a DLL for DBP is floating around somewhere) and probably what I would use.

Perhaps multiple choice would work better. Not what you wanted but more in line with FPSC capabilities.

best.

Any text can be verified as far as spelling with scancodekeypressed=x to detect each letter and then direct them to another state.
If the right letter is pressed then it takes them to a state that checks the next correct letter.
If the wrong letter is entered, then you can go to a state to take whatever action neccessary. (display hud, make sound, etc)
You can use activated states with the scancodekeypressed=0 to determine whether they have pressed an incorrect key rather than using a long list of scancodekeypressed checking for each incorrect number. If that statement confused you, then you're not alone. (it is tricky)
A separate script would be needed for each word used, and that is the real limitation here.

As Xplosys recommended, multiple choice is a much better (easier) method for text input in FPSC.

People, you are amazing! Thank you xplosys and Conjured Entertainment!!!!

Conjured Ent.: there is anyway to "see" the text while you are typing?

Xplosys: how should be the basic script code to do it in the way you are telling me? the multiple choice is a great option.

Thanks to all...

@MaxTol,

Very basically, you offer the multiple choices to the player with a hud image. The player picks the corresponding answer number from the list. (hud image) The players answer is detected with the scancodekeypressed= condition as CE said. NickyDude's guide, as referenced above, should give you all the information and code you need.

Wow! Being mentioned with CE is quite a compliment.

Best.
