Creating a Password

  • #1, by monicaamorosTuesday, 13. June 2017, 18:09 5 years ago
    Hello
    I'm a beginner in Visionaire Studio. I've created a simple Room Escape game and as the final obstacle I want to do a password code where you have to write 4 numbers. How can I do that?
    Any help would be really helpful as this is part of a university project.

    Player should write them via keyboard or clicking the numbers on a numpad on a scene object?

    I found a topic which deals with the same  question (password is typed by keyboard from the player):

    Via Lua script - a keyboard input:

    For visible input:
    You are gonna need to create a value where you will be storing the data.
    And you will also need to create and "Called by other action" action which will be having display object text action part to refresh the text.

    function keyboardHandler(eventType, character, keycode, modifiers)

 if eventType==eEvtKeyTextInput then

  Values["password"].String = Values["password"].String .. character

 elseif eventType == eEvtKeyDown and keycode == 8 then

  Values["password"].String = string.sub(Values["password"].String, 1, -2)

 end

 startAction("Scenes[yourScene].SceneActions[refresh]")

 return false

end



registerEventHandler("keyEvent", "keyboardHandler")

    But there's a lot of options. You can also display just **** instead of the input. Or you can set up some screen with numbers/letters and do it just with mouse clicking.

    In that case you can just make an object for each number/letter and add the number to a string. Then compare the string to your password.

     Values["password"].String = Values["password"].String .. "1"
