object in information box
Heya, I have an object - draft_text
I want to be included within an information box that pops up, how would I do this? This is so when a user types a message it appears within that box Also, how would I get the information box to follow an avatar around the screen? The code i am using to create a networked chat box is below Thanks in advance, FC Code:
sent_message.visible(0) typing_message.visible(0) #Use a prompt to ask the user the network name of the other computer. target_machine = viz.input('Enter the name of the other machine').upper() #Add a mailbox from which to send messages. This is your outbox. target_mailbox = viz.addNetwork(target_machine) #Start with sending_text as a blank space. out_text = '' def SendData(): #Retrieve current transform of viewpoint mat = viz.MainView.getMatrix() #Apply offsets so duck model matches viewpoint mat.preEuler(180,0,0) mat.preTrans(0,-1,0) #Send position/rotation to target network object target_mailbox.send(quat=mat.getQuat(),pos=mat.getPosition(),message=out_text) # Start a timer that sends out data over the network every frame vizact.ontimer(0,SendData) # Listens for any incomming messages def onNetwork(e): avatar.setPosition(e.pos) avatar.setQuat(e.quat) inbox.message(e.message) # Register network to listen from incoming messages viz.callback(viz.NETWORK_EVENT, onNetwork) #Create a variable for the draft of the outgoing message. draft_text = ' ' def mykeyboard(key): global out_text, draft_text #If the length of the key is 1 then #add the character to the string. if draft_text == '': sent_message.visible(0) typing_message.visible(0) if len(key) == 1: draft_text += key sent_message.visible(0) typing_message.visible(1) #If the key is a character return, end the line, make the #outgoing message equal to the draft message, and set the draft equal # to a blank space. elif key == viz.KEY_RETURN: out_text = draft_text sent_message.visible(1) typing_message.visible(0) #If the key is the backspace key then remove the last character of the string. elif key == viz.KEY_BACKSPACE: draft_text = draft_text[:-1] #Update the input text field so that you can see what you're typing. outbox.message(draft_text) print draft_text Last edited by fc2008; 07-18-2008 at 08:44 AM. |
