Hi how do I make it that when I click on a certain actor text pops up and when I click the text goes away and more text comes and so on until there is no more text and when you click the box of text goes away?

P.S: I am new at this so please put detailed instructions, thanks!

i am willing to help, but your question doesnt make sense.
something with disappearing text is the only thing i can get from it.

do you have any images or something?
try to describe more clearly.

I understood easily.  When he clicks on actor, a text box pops up and you can scroll through the text and then be able to close the box when done.

Actually, I think he just wants the actor to open up DIFFERENT blocks of text each click.

What you'd do is use lists... first insert a whole load into a list, then write a simple 'when clicked' piece of code. (See below)

ahh yeah, now i get it indeed.

well carpetguy's approach is coming close, but there is quite some place for performance improvements.
i will post a screenshot when im back home again.

@carpetguy, if you use the camera icon it will make a sceenshot of every event in your behaviour. so there is no need to do it for every one =) also i was wondering why you used number GAME attributes, instead of normal ones?

I just put it together now. I guess you could use normal attributes but I used games to make it flexible in the future.
And whoops, never knew I'd only need 1 screenshot.

couldn't help myself going all techno on this, but this should do the job =)
in the behaviours tab simply fill in the lines you want to display, seperating them with *

however this doesnt draw an actual box, but clicking the actor will do the job.
