Help with SHOWTEXTDIALOG

Hi I am attempting to have a notifier pop up so the user can enter their name and then have a button, that when clicked will display the users name anywhere in the canvas.

I am having trouble being able to store or bring up the users name from the notifier.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

The Notifier has a special block to ask for the text, and a special gold event block that will catch the text after the user enters it.

In the event block, save the text in a global variable NAME, initially empty text.

To draw the text onto a Canvas, look for the block that draws text onto a Canvas, and feed it that global variable NAME.

Try AltNotifier

this will allow you to provide a default text in the notifier
