Of Multiple Text Input

Hi guys!

As I was trying to study python, I followed the tutorial in http://www.blendenzo.com/tutInputText.html which then I tried to expand into a questionnaire asking your name and birth date. The idea is instead of asking for password, it will ask your first name then another question popped-up below it asking your last name and another one popped-up again asking your birth date.

Honestly, I tried but I’m just too noob to know how to do this. I’m stuck in the “popping-up a plane for the next question” part so can anybody help me with this please? Thanks.

span.jajahWrapper { font-size:1em; color:#B11196; text-decoration:underline; } a.jajahLink { color:#000000; text-decoration:none; } span.jajahInLink:hover { background-color:#B11196; }

Ugh… forsook.

Never mind though, I’ve made my own way around that part.
Only the part on how to put a long text (23 lines) in the “Text” property is left to figure…

havent done that tut yet cuz theres a plugin requirement i dont want to dl yet

but uhm do you mean just how to get a long string into the little box that seems to have a characer cap in the actuators?

feed it into a python file instead and just set the variable there should work fine…

if thats not what you mean then sry duno what you r talking about :frowning:

A REPLY!! HURRAY!!!

Not really but that “character cap” seems interesting. Can you explain more please?

It’s like an officers database where there’s a menu of officer’s name list and when you write the officer’s name in another panel and click on the “search” button, that officer’s detailed profile such as birth date, known family members, duty logs, medical records, etc. shows up.

I’ve made several long texts in Blender’s Text Editor window but I still can’t figure out how to assign those texts as the plane’s “Text” property. In my last script I wrote own.Text = Blender.Text.get(“text name here”) and it failed.

Alright then, forget the officers database mumbo-jumbo. In my script, I already used:
import Blender;
from Blender import Text;

but somehow I can’t use

Text.Get(“data”).readlines();

and to simplify the question, how can I use “readline()” or maybe “asLines()” to read a specific line number from the text I wrote in Blender’s Text Editor and then use that line as the plane’s “Text” property or is there any other way to show multiple text lines using a single plane object?
