Would this be possible? Of course it would! All we'd need is DanTom to make it!

Like this:

BEFORE this idea was given:
------------------------------------
- Input                            -
------------------------------------
- Please input your username:      -
------------------------------------
-  [                            ]  -
------------------------------------
-               [OK]               -
------------------------------------

When players click OK...

------------------------------------
- Input                            -
------------------------------------
- Please input your password:      -
------------------------------------
-  [                            ]  -
------------------------------------
-               [OK]               -
------------------------------------

Wouldn't it be possible to create it like this:

--------------------------------------------------------
- Input                                                -
--------------------------------------------------------
- Please input your username: [                      ] -
--------------------------------------------------------
- Please input your password  [                      ] -
--------------------------------------------------------
-                           [OK]                       -
--------------------------------------------------------


It might, and probably is, possible to do this. And besides, it's handy!

How about using HTML and browse()?

Look up browse() and Topic()

Should be all you need to know

Right now the only option is to put together an annoyingly complicated Form, preferably on a browser popup.

I suspect something like you want might be available in 4.0, but don't quote me on that.

Anywho, this would be usful to add, give some parts of a game a better look. And it would reduce the many popups that tend to happen when selecting colors via RGB values. That is the biggest use i can think of.

But as I said, the same effect can be achieved using Forms.

In response to Foomer
Yes, buy why if it's not not needed?
This isnt a big deal to my though, because i can wip up a form real fast and use it.

Or, alternatively, you can use screen objects to achieve this effect.

No, you couldn't.

In response to Garthor
Yes you could. It'd just take longer and be waaaaay too involved. =) You'd have to do extra work if you wanted it to move around, and even then it would be restricted to the map screen. And you'd have to set up heaps of macros.

You could do it, though, unless there's something I'm forgetting. =) HTML forms would be much easier though.

The shift key wouldn't work.
Feb 7 2004, 8:12 pm
In response to Garthor
It would still work.

Let me clarify: you couldn't type capitol letters.

In response to Garthor
Cant shift be a macro?

Macros can be in the form of Alt+Key or Alt+Shift+Key, but only for alphabetic characters.

For example, the following two macros are distinct:

macro
t
return "target"
T
return "talk"

That would be a good point Garthor... except I think Spuzzum just squashed it. =)

I like it, Spuzz! That's a neat feature I didn't know about.
