Clearing Text?

BenSawyer

I have a simple actor that I use to display some stats. I want to be able to clear this actor of previous text and display new text from another variable depending on the game's state. For some reason when I do this now all I get when invoking a new display text call is the new text overlayed on top of the previous text drawn. How do I have an actor actually clear any text it's displaying BEFORE drawing out new text. I tried display text = "" before using display text = TEXTtoDisplay but it doesn't work.

You could have your display text actor display the value of a Text Attribute and change this Text Attribute to " " between uses. That way it should start at nothing.

Each time you want the actor to display new or different text, just change the value of the Text Attribute.
