Hi all i am trying to clear part of the screen i.e. have some txt on the screen then take it off with some kind of cls but something that will not remove everything else on the screen
I tryed
Text 400,400, “the text is here abcdef etc etc etc”
Then to clear it i was just trying something like
Text 400,400,” “(empty text string) but it don’t
I would have thought there is a better way i just can not find it .... please any help would be great

Thanks John

Something like this?



IF you press and hold "Q"(which is keystate(16)) the text go blank and when you realese it it goes again on screen.Is this desired effect?

Where there is a will, there is a way.
I often edit my posts, that`s who i am

This code prints text in four different locations on the screen, plus your text. If you press [ENTER], it will erase your text only. This is done by simply covering it with a box using the background color.



Hope this helps.

EDIT: It will make a difference if you have the backdrop on or off. Since you don't have any 3D models, I wrote this with the backdrop off.

You could also use SET TEXT OPAQUE before any text commands if you just want to use the spaces.

eg:



There's something in this room that makes you can't speak well.

Does it make a difference if i have load a bitmap image as a back drop and printing text over the top of the image? Will that stop the ways you have put here from working?
Many thanks

Let's find out, shall we?




I found that if I use the same image for the backdrop and just re-do it, that DBP weirds out and enlarges the image. If you delete it and use another image it works okay (as I have done).

Use the [ENTER] key to erase the text from the backdrop. Use ESC to exit.
