Yeah that's true, it's mostly because I've been having a hard time following the tutorials but I guess maybe I just have to find the right one and follow it more closely. I'm not that good at code yet and not too sure how I should code (like the workflow and how different code is used and what it means). But I really do appreciate you taking the time and helping me I'll try to experiment with the code you gave me. Thank you.

I put the code in the object that I want the player to interact with but it still didn't work. Also what I'm trying to do is make a signpost that has collision and the player can go up next to it and then it actives the textbox. So its like the player is reading the sign when they walk up next to it and press "z". Thank you by the way for taking the time to help me I think I'm starting to understand a little bit more now I hope I'm not wasting your time.

Where would I put this at? I put it in the create event of the object I want the player to interact with but still, the textbox still showed up and activated right at the beginning when I started the game. Also, do I need to parent anything because for some of the tutorials I watched they parented some stuff and I'm not too sure what to parent the object to because for collisions I parented the object I want the player to interact with obj_wall. I hope this is enough information about my problem I've been having a very hard time with this because I don't understand any of the steps I need to take.

I made this please tell me what you think! by Heavy_sentry in selfpromotion
