removing previous text?

DANTHEMAN
i've tried a thousand time to clear the screen after each turn/room and simply cant find the answer. the 'clear screen' and 'clear previous turn' scripts are not working. any ideas?

i'm sure the answer is incredibly simple.

I'm not sure where you find this in the GUI~Editor, but if you don't mind working with the code, it's super easy to implement:

where-ever you want it:

ClearScreen

that's it. If you need help with how~where to put this into your game code (if you can't find the 'ClearScreen' in the GUI~Editor), let me know.

I assume you want the screen cleared before the next turn (not after the current turn, which would wipe out your currently displayed text before the player can read it). The reason I'm making that distinction is that to have something occur after a turn is completed, you use a turn script - but I don't think that's the behavior you want.

To be honest, I don't know of a built-in way to clear the screen for each new turn. You could probably copy into your game the HandleCommand function and add a "clear screen" command (as HK mentions) to it.
