"INPUT Print Statements, Input Variable"


Input Command does not display propmpt or "Print Statements" on screen, only Input Variable. In fact it wipes out all text on screen that was printed

Am I doing something wrong or will I need to create a seperate routine to display prompts?

Thanks in advance as always

It works fine for me too,until I enter a graphics enviroment then the input command clears all "non objects" such as paste and text.

This is unavoidable I'm afraid as using INPUT seems to enter a modal loop where only the 3D objects + the input are drawn.

Normally this is what happens in pseudo code:

function Sync()
Render3DStuff()
Draw2DStuff()
FlipToScreen()
endfunction

Input goes to a function doing this which runs until enter is pressed

function Input()
Render3DStuff()
DrawInputPrompt() <== Other 2D ignored
FlipToScreen()
endfunction

The only way to recitfy this is to write your own routine.

What you could do is to put all of the 2D drawing in one function, then you can call that from your custom Input routine.

Re print statements, this is obviously a bug, as Lee didn't test it properly.

Thanks Rob K. Now that I know its not just some simple mistake I am making it should be fairly easy to create a routine that can replace input
