Is there any way to make editor filter?

e.g. "Player's name" must contain only letters A-z, but now player can imput any sign including #$@ etc.

You can try catching the change to editor text and change the text programatically.
For example, if the editor is called "textBox", in your window script add something like:

Code: WME Script

1. on "textBox"
2. {
3.   var textBox = this.GetControl("textBox");
4.   var someText = new String(textBox.Text);
5.  
6.   // ...do some processing of the text and assign it back to the editor
7.  
8.   textBox.Text = someText;
9.  
10. }
11.

Thanx a lot. That helps

Hello Venom, were you able to filter character input? If so, how? I don't want the player to submit only a blank "space" without letters.

this is the "draft" of the filter

Code: [Select]

  var NewEditorText =new String(Editor.Text);
 
  if ((key >= 65 && key <=90) || (key >= 97 && key <= 122)) // A-Z or a-z
  {
  Editor.Text = NewEditorText;
  }
  else
  {
if (key!=8) //backspace
{
var lenght = NewEditorText.Length;
var ClearText = NewEditorText.Substr(0,lenght-1); //remove last digit
Editor.Text = ClearText;
}
  }

Ah, I see what Mnemonic meant by catching the change to the editor. Didn't realize that was possible. Very helpful, thanks

For anyone needing this filter, append an equal sign to the operators to capture the letters Aa and Zz: <=, >=
