Draw.text and cls, How do i get rid of this text????????

[Lekegolo killer]

How can i clear text placed by the draw.text command? cls doesn't work.

[BigBear]

cls should work maybe you should post some code maybe it is clearing but it is in a loop and draws it again. Or you are not updating the screen

[saltpro15]

please post your code in order for us to help you

[Insectoid]

I suspect that somehow, the cls isn't being executed. Try drawing something at the same time as the cls, like 'put "test"'.

[Lekegolo killer]

ok, here is a sample of the code

var font : int
font := Font.New ("Orator Std:10")
var width : int:= Font.Width ("Orator", font)
var height, ascent, descent, internalLeading : int
Font.Sizes (font, height, ascent, descent, internalLeading)


Draw.Text("c",102,maxy-10,font,white)
delay(100)
Draw.Text("o",108,maxy-10,font,white)
delay(100)
Draw.Text("n",114,maxy-10,font,white)
delay(100)
Draw.Text("f",120,maxy-10,font,white)
delay(100)
Draw.Text("i",126,maxy-10,font,white)
delay(100)
Draw.Text("r",132,maxy-10,font,white)
delay(100)
Draw.Text("m",138,maxy-10,font,white)
delay(100)
Draw.Text("e",144,maxy-10,font,white)
delay(100)
Draw.Text("d",150,maxy-10,font,white)
delay(100)
Draw.Text(".",156,maxy-10,font,white)
delay(100)
cls

[andrew.]

It works for me. Just change the text colour from white to black or change the background colour by drawing a big box.
e.g.

Turing:

drawfillbox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, black)

P.S. Use syntax tags.

code:

[syntax="Turing]Your Code[/syntax]

that is how i have if but the text still stays. Maybe it is because i am using it in conjunction with put statments?

i will post a larger chunk when i get home from shcoolz.

You might try

Turing:

var font : int font := Font.New ("Orator Std:10") var width : int:= Font.Width ("Orator", font) var height, ascent, descent, internalLeading : int Font.Sizes (font, height, ascent, descent, internalLeading) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Draw.FillBox (0,0,maxx,maxy,black) % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Draw.Text("c",102,maxy-10,font,white) delay(100) Draw.Text("o",108,maxy-10,font,white) delay(100) Draw.Text("n",114,maxy-10,font,white) delay(100) Draw.Text("f",120,maxy-10,font,white) delay(100) Draw.Text("i",126,maxy-10,font,white) delay(100) Draw.Text("r",132,maxy-10,font,white) delay(100) Draw.Text("m",138,maxy-10,font,white) delay(100) Draw.Text("e",144,maxy-10,font,white) delay(100) Draw.Text("d",150,maxy-10,font,white) delay(100) Draw.Text(".",156,maxy-10,font,white) delay(100) cls

I did.

"@saltpro15: Nice avatar Wink"

why thank you

[Lekegolo killer]

i promise to post my whole program tonight!
(march 2....OMG MY MILK EXPIRED YESTERDAY AND I DRANK IT! when did it get march?).

also tell me what you guys think(once it is up), i have been teaching myself turing so it's not that great and alot of it is cobbled together from other sources.

kk so my "program"(short for my craptasic game) is based in the halo universe.

here is the code.
