Dynamic Text?

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

Hi! This is my first post on the forums so if you have no idea what im talking about, then feel free to ask, and I will try to explain in more detail. :confused:

Ok, so my question is:

Is there any way to make text dynamic in the game enigine? In another program I have worked with these were called dynamic textboxes. E.G, I could type something in, and it would appear in the game engine as im typing. Then I would press enter, and the text box would clear, and the text would appear somewhere else on the screen. My idea is something similar to a chatroom, with 3d elements to it. I would need to use Python, so are there any bits of Python people could suggest to me?

Also, I have seen people use the ‘@’ sign in text in their .blends, and wondered what that is. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me. (Im quite new at blender)

Thanks

This link to a tutorial is a good place to start and here to one of Blendezos tutorials is a good follow up. There are others, and I know Blendezo has more. A Google search will turn up quite a few ideas for menus and interactive text. Also try here

Though as I say, Googling first is always a good idea
