Guys, how do i make scroll chat?

Guys, hi everyone!

Here is the problem-> I've created a photon-based multiplayer game and it's has a chat. so i want to make such thing - on incoming or outgoing messages it should be created some sprite as a background and text object with message text. as in viber or whatsap and they must be scroll-controlled, for i can see the history of chat. any ideas?

in this momnet it's made by using textbox as text area. but it's looks like a piece of shit.

Refer to the Multiplayer chat example included in Construct 2.

Go to File -> New -> Multiplayer chat example

In the "Chat event" event sheet, under the group "Chat log", you can see that it uses a Textbox, set to read-only, where you set the text in a function to "Self.Text & newline & Function.Param(0)" and scroll to the bottom.

Each time, you want to add something to the chat, call the function with the Parameter containing the text you want to add.

No man, it's the same shit =/

At now i using exactly this. (self.text and so on).

and i need - such scroll, as in messengers (viber, hangouts, whatsapp) - when 'on any message' there is creating new sprite blok with text object on it and it's scrolling. get it?

for example ==>>>

so many views but still no help in use =/

more suggestios?

up

Sorry, but we have a private life too and don't spend our time waiting for someone to post a thread to answer it immediately.

I'm working on it, just so you know.

There you go:

This is only sending stuff, not including receiving messages.

I did it as fast as possible, since you are apparently in a hurry.

But adding it won't be hard.

(if you need help though and got the time, tell me)

[EDIT] Updated link to .capx with requested scrolling

oh my god! thanx man!

But link is inactive.

404 error =(

Sorry about that, I edited my post, link should work now.

randomly great example!

but how ca i make it scrolling by touch (for examle - when i need to read a history of messages)?

Updated my original .capx post.

You can now scroll the chat while restricting the scrolling intelligently to specific scenarios (see comments in .capx)

This version logs messages to a dictionary but the history of the chat only goes as far as the layout's "margin" setting is set.

I could include a "load from dictionary" when the user tries to look at messages that are longer past than the margin goes.

But that would be a hell of work.

I won't try to replicate a full messenger here. If you want to, go ahead, but I'd say this is quite a base to start from.

With a margin of 2000, this version will be able to save around 100 one-line messages.

I don't know how much a higher margin (i.e. more objects being in the layout but not on screen) affect the performance, but that's to you to figure out.

randomly Any suggestions?

I'm using php server to send and recieve messages. So,they keeped in db,which created automatically for each user. All i use now-textarea,where all history is showing. I'm understand,that i should extend height of layer,where message-sprotes (from your example) are created for every created object and besides that-should use scrolly. I have already made scrolly. But can't discover how to connect your system with my scroll-system

Sorry, I can't really grasp what you are saying.

Are you saying that you need to combine your message database to the C2 layout?

I have no experience with PHP, so you'll need to tell me how you access your PHP database and how you receive and send every user's messages dependent on the timestamp..

randomly no, your link isn't work again =(
