In the Games Factory they have text boxes that the user can put text in. Im creating a learning game where the kid puts his answer into the box and submits it, how do I do that?? I want it so when the question asks "Whats 3x3" and the kid puts in 8, he gets it wrong, but when he puts in "9" it goes to a different question.
Steve Zissou: Anne-Marie, do all the interns get Glocks?
Anne-Marie: No, they have to share one.

By using an Edit box and a Button. Use the events:
* Button pressed
+ Text of Edit box = '9'
- say 'That's Right'
* Button pressed
+ Text of Edit box <> '9'
- say 'That's Wrong. You will be sentenced to death by flogging'
You can compare the text of the edit box by Comparing 2 General Values (under the Special object)

Oh, never mind, I went to go and try what you said, and I don't know how! It says "Button Clicked" then I go to put the "Text = 9" and I dont know where to do it! The only options are about "Load text File" blah blah, and "have input focus".
I am really lost

JP, you dont do it via the edit box's own conditions. The first icon, when you create a new condition, is called the "Special Conditions". Click this then select "Compare Two General Value".
A window that looks like the Expression Editor will open. Select the first button that says "Retrieve Data From Object" and select Get String under the edit box.
In the second box in the thing that looks like the expression editor, enter 9 and press OK.
Do the same thing for the next condition but select "Different" from the combo box where it says "Equal".

If you don't want any interference from any other button/text objects do
Always ---> Edit Box -> Set Foucs On
But the rest of the people answered your question exactly.

Ale: that's not a very good way of doing it. A better method would be:
+ (NOT) Edit box has input focus
- Set focus on

Do 'always' commands slow down the speed of the program?

Technically yes, although you may not notice in some applications.
Every event and action slows down the program to some extent.

If you already have an always command would it be better to do it my way (one less line of code)?

Ale: It also means that the action is running every time the Always event executes, so it still wouldnt be as good as far as scalability is concerned.

20% have to be always's, and rest were copied once for the second player option. I would submit a demo If my computer didn't have viruses out the yin yang.
