LÖVE

Hi, the answer to this might be really simple and maybe im just retarded but..
Im curently making a custom Messagebox , with a text input. The goal is to halv something like So my options are to either: But that would have to "pause" the whole game, right? Until the function returns something

The other thing i thought of was
And then the function would set the input to the input from the textbox. However when i pass table.valueone to the function it sends its string value instead of like a refrense to the table.

Hope you understand what i mean. Any help is appriciated

well you can do
but you still need to "wait" for inputbox to return. And I don't see what the problem is with table.valueone = inputbox() in the first place.

Code: Select all

inputbox(table, "valueone")

function inputbox(tbl, key)
  tbl[key] = .....
end

but you still need to "wait" for inputbox to return. And I don't see what the problem is with table.valueone = inputbox() in the first place.

but if i do table.valueone = inputbox(), then wouldn't the game freeze until i press OK in my custom messagebox and inputbox() returns a value so it can continue in the code?

and if i do:
i can store (tbl, key) in a table of all the inputboxes and the apply it when OK is pressed, however this doesn't feel as neat.

You need to decouple the call and the game loop anyway then, there is no other way i can think off except having a callback-style approach.
