AppGameKit Classic Chat / Any way to move the Print command to a different x, y area? If not use CreateText which can update when a variable changes?

i want to be able to display a text which updates when i press a button. It'll add +1 to the total count.

This works fine with the print command however, i want to be able to move the text around and place it inside a frame. I know i can use the createtext command to make a text box but it never updates. I tried putting the createtext box inside the main Do Loop but it just messes up the look of the next number pressed as i think it keeps the old createtext object on the screen and adds a new one on top. This can also cause a performance hit so i don't want to do that.

How can i achieve what i am trying to do?

ok figured it out.

I left the createtext command outside the main do loop and put



inside the main do loop.

Thanks guys

thanks for posting the solution, i didn't know this and normally just delete the text and recreate it each loop (or as needed) to update it, this would be much simpler though

Np, glad i could help someone.

If you have too many of these set text (in my case it was), i simply put all of them in a function and called the function in the do loop. Works wonders.
