Hi everyone can someone explain how to change the text?

I have created Table (TBText) and inside of table I created 2 text attributes 2rows and 2 columns.
Row1 & Columns1 has text: "The door is locked"
Row2 & Columns2 has text: "It's not used here"

I have a 3 actors. (Message, Door and Key)
I have 2 Global Boolean and 1 Text attributes. I called boolean attribute "key-own" and show-message, text attribute called "DisplayMessage"

Message actor has rule: Attribute game.show-message is true
Behavior: Display Text. Text: game.DisplayMessage

Door actor has following rules:

Rule1. Actor receives event touch pressed

Change attribute: game.show-message to true
Change attribute: game.DisplayMessage to TableCellValue(TBText,1,1) //"The door is locked"


Rule2. Actor receives event touch pressed
Attribute game.key-own true

Change attribute: game.show-message to true
Change attribute: game.DisplayMessage to TableCellValue(TBText,2,2) //"It's not used here"

//My second rule gives me the text from first rule.

Please help me.

    Maybe I'm missing something here but you say your door actor has 2 touch rules. Isn't it always going to do the first one over the other? What separates the rules in respect to what make each available?

    Thanks for your reply. I don't know how it is. yes there is 2 touch rules in door actor. I just wanted to make different text. something like that: if player has nothing active item in inside of inventory and just touches the door than he can see the text that the door is closed.
    if player has a key but wrong key but he doesn't know that the key is not for this door. he will try to open door with key which he found and he has a active item(key) in inside of inventory, he touches the door but he sees the another text "it's not used here")))

    Then you should add those as part of the touch rules for each. If if this collides withX and active item = 0 (you should have a global attribute that gets updated if a player has something active or not) then do this. In the otherwise put your other touch rule.

    I tried to add additional global attribute "integer" if key take true and touch pressed. Change attribute wrong key to (game.wrongkey+1)%2.
    So if wrongkey = 1
    Change attri: table change text. Doesn't work

    make a display text with game.wrongkey somewhere so you can check if its really changing. if so then it should work... maybe you can post your project or a screenshot of your rules
