How do I hide a question input box without someone entering their question?

EIephant_Lover

I am making a project with slides, and in one of the slides there is a question box, “ask () and wait”. There is a back button for seeing the previous slide, and in that slide the answer box for the question should not be showing. The problem is, I can't find a way to stop asking the question on that slide without the person clicking the check box on the question.

Anybody know how to do this?

Creating a clone to ask the question and deleting it to get rid of the ask input is one method.

Ooh, that's a good idea! I'll try that.

You can also stop other scripts in sprite if that doesn't mess things up - you may have scripts that you need to keep running.

The clone one worked really well! Thanks so much. Also, I don't think the second method would work for my project (it does have other scripts to keep running). Thanks again!

I found this while trying to find a way to make this game I'm making and I have to ask: If the question is still hidden , can it be answered? I'm trying to see if I can make the player answer the question while not seeing the question input box.

please don’t necropost - old topics shouldn’t be brought back to the front page. instead create a new topic

by the way I don’t think so. for example if the clone asking the question was deleted then why should it still take the input?
you can detect keyboard inputs with the makey makey extension: set a variable to some string you want and separate it by spaces, like this “s c r a t c h”, then put that into a makey makey “when pressed in order” hat.
