Update text

[Codenburger]

Hi, I have been trying to figure out how to update text on screen, which has come from user input that was stored in localStorage.

Once the user name has been changed, I want the name on the screen to update. I have tried putting the text code inside the update: function() but this doesn't work.

Please help.....

mytext.setText(somevar);

// or

mytext.setText('static text');

Hi, Thank you,

I can draw the text, no problem.

It is when I come to update the text on screen, based on the localStorage value, where the text just stays the same until I reload the game. Then the text value changes.

If you console log the storage value is it the correct value? Or use a debugger.

The value is fine. I just can't update the text on screen.

If the value is fine just before you set it then it should work. Guess you need to dive into the debugger. Maybe a scoping problem with the localstorage value not being available in your update func?

If I alert(input.value) I can see the current value in the update function. The text object is in the update function also, but the text doesn't update every time, as I hoped.

I am new to Phaser, but learning quickly. The scope isn't a problem for using alert(), but must be for text. I think you may have hit on something there. I am away from my computer ATM, but will take a look soon. Thank you. I will reply when at PC.
