here's your first example
these tutorials will also be listed in the first post as I add them:
this is an example of how you can get back to your text info from a normal sprite pick:

here's a more advanced fancy showoff example with "for each character" Picking to demonstrate the power of the Picking and Related Expressions: (davio, this one's for you)

	crash. [code:1hl5ndiu]System: Always (every tick) > SpriteSet X to BitmappedText 0 .DistFromXSide+sin(timer+.x)[/code:1hl5ndiu] Is this how i'm supposed to be using that expression anyways? EDIT: I'm pretty sure I pinned down why it crashes, it happens when the expression [code:1hl5ndiu]BitmappedText 0 .DistFromXSide[/code:1hl5ndiu] is called when no letters are drawn. Edit2: Upon further testing of the plugin, i see you went all out on the AC and E's. There are SOOOOOO many options, all of which come in handy. Damn good plugin lucid. -I can't figure out the edit box feature, maybe i've been up too late. -What does move cursor do Edit3: Ok, i see that distfromXside is for use with for each character in phrase only, but i can't figure out how to correctly use it. I'll take a look at your cap. Edit4!!!: Awesome, I thought distfromXside did what position in phrase does. All works fine now, and this plugin is pimpin useful. I'm off to make some cool text. if possible..[size=150:1hl5ndiu]FEATURE REQUEST[/size:1hl5ndiu]=Condition>> Is writing

	hey, davio, thanks for reporting the crash, i will fix that and add the "is writing" for the next build. k, im on my phone so i cant make a cap but you call "start edit box", and most of the options explain themselves if you click on them. try setting a dash for the blank character to see what it does. choose an initial phrase, and the max number of characters allowed. once you start edit box, you should be able to type and erase characters(some cool conditions for this one, too, like"typing attempted on full edit box"). you will continue to be able to type characters until you call "end edit box" or if you set the option for it in you original call, it can be ended by pressing enter. set a sprites position to cursorx,cursory, and you'll understand what it is. you can also get the character currently under a cursor, and set the option to "only allow arrow keys" to make a snes style name edit screen where you choose your letters instead of typing them. as of now up and down arrow keys dont work for this. will be fixed in a later build. also, if you havent tried it yet. not in edit box, but in regular text, try setting alignment to center or right, and then do write text, with "insert" and then "absolute" . kinda neat

	Looking good! I have a small request. Would it be possible to use decimals for coords? As it is now it will only use whole numbers.

I don't need to know each action to change them in, just which types of values other than phrase position you'd like to see as floats don't worry quazio...sorry, I mean Davi. set range through string still coming. newt, still looking into the private variables and thank you holymonkey.
