changing text

How do i display text in a box than when a button is pressed the text changes to different text?

There are several ways to do this. Are you just needing to toggle between two sets of text or are you making a system where you can display text1, then text2, then text3, then text4, etc.?

You could use an image creating program such as photshop or paint.net to make text and save it as an image. Then you can make a rule that says:

When touch is pressed

Change image to: (file)

I'm doing an RPG game so its for all the dialog in the game and i dont want to do it with images cause im already gonna have way too many images i was really looking for a way just to use the display text attribute.

1. Create an attribute (game.myText)
2. Display text ("your text here")
3. Make a rule that says when touch is pressed -Display text ("your new text here")

You can keep doing this for as long as you need the dialog to occur. All the text changes can be in a single actor and be activated during different times in the game.
