I'm new to Opus and am trying to clear a yext input box, after an object has finished fading. I would like to do this using a script command if possible. Anybody have any suggestions

Jasmi
I'm in a hurry to get to work and I'd have to look up a script solution and that would take too long, but I'll have a look tonight.
As a simple workaround, when you draw a text input box, click the 'new' button beside the variable name and give the input content a variable name.
When the user enters something in the input box, Opus will store the content using the variable name you gave it.
To clear the variable, all you have to do is have some kind of trigger such as a button, or a roll over and use the 'set variable' function. Go to "actions", "programming", 'variables". Just set the variable name that you choose above, to nothing and make sure the radio button, 'overwrite current contents' is selected.
Hope that tides you over 'til later

Hi jasmi,

To add the Graham's comprehensive solution, if your Text Input Box's variable was called <myTextVariable>, in OpusScript you'd have a script action somewhere....


myTextVariable = ""

//makes the contents blank

Hi again Jasmi
Forgot to say "welcome to the forum and Opus" - you'll find lots of enthusiasts here.
I see the ever helpful Steve H has answered the scripting question for you!
Cheers

Thanks for the quick solution, You wouldn't believe how long I was trying for.
Slapped the one liner in and hey presto

Thanks for the welcome
