Typing in Initials (max of 3)
Hi, so i am making a game, that requires the person to type in their name, or initials.
I want to make a limit of only typing in three letters, and no more than that.
I just don't know how to do that yet, and I was wondering whether it was possible...and if you could tell me...
Thank you,
parakeets4ever

Not possible using the ask block, but if you did it yourself it'd be quite possible.

Re: Typing in Initials (max of 3)
ask [What's your initials?] and wait
if <not <(length of (answer)) = (3)>>
repeat until <(length of (answer)) = 3>
ask [Initials must be 3 letters long] and wait
The glass is never half full nor half empty; it is twice as large as it needs to be.

Re: Typing in Initials (max of 3)
use this
[green flag clicked]
[other stuff]
[broadcast Initals]
[When i recieve Initals]
[if error = 1]
[say Please use only 3 letters. for 5 sec]
[set error to 0]
[broadcast Initals]
[else]
[ask Please type initals. and wait]
[if (length of initals) < 3]
[set error to 1]
[broadcast initals]
[do other stuff]
Much more reliable.
