wdym? like a physical tablet? and changing the password screen?
You’re not allowed to make a system where people have username and password , simply because someone could put their real password and you could get theirs from the datastore, and cause you get into troubles.
username system is fine, but dont completely hide their real username.
No, on roblox we have a UI that looks like an ipad or a tablet. We’re trying to make a sign in system with a password (3 digit) but we want when people are typing in the password it covers up the typed in characters with a *.
I can agree but like what if hes making something like, windows login where you put something like
Username: John
Password : 1234
You could use string.gsub to replace each letter/digit with a *.
They CANT set their own passwords its set by us
Oh alright, then it is fine.
Here is how you could do it
You could use string.gsub to replace each letter/digit with a * .
Example:
local password = "123"
local new = password:gsub("%d","*")
print(new) --> ***
Could you send an example of how to do this please?
local txt = script.Parent.TextBox
local passwordtest = string.gsub(txt.Text)
may have forgot some things
Would you run this when someone changes the text in the box?
Here is an example how you could do this
the %d will detect any digit in the text/string, and replace it with *.
Well you’re going to have to make it so if the player gone out of focus it changes to the stars (possibly)
We want it to change as they type it tho.
textBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal:Connect(function()
local text = textBox.Text
local endText = ''
for i=1,string.len(text) do
endText= endText..'Q'
end
textBox.Text = endText
end)
this should work
Did not work due to we need to see what is inputted for this to work and for it to compare the password to the correct password internally.
Plus it needs to be stored so we can compare them and let them in or say the password is incorrect
This did work however when you’re logging into something you know how it shows the last character you typed… How could we do that?
try instead
textBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal:Connect(function()
local text = textBox.Text
local endText = ''
for i=1,string.len(text)-1 do
endText= endText..'Q'
end
local str = string.split(text)[string.len(text)]
endText = endText..str
textBox.Text = endText
end)
check the password in a string value?
