[SOLVED] How to make it so i can change game objects in a non playcanvas function?

Help & Support
#1

Im trying to run a function that changes text but i cant seem to do it in a function that has no playcanvas api. is there a way i can get it to work with an external function?

Login.prototype.initialize = function() {
    this.setpassword.button.on("click",function(event){
        setCookie("password",prompt("Password"),1);
        if(getCookie("password")!=""){
            this.setpasswo.element.text=CryptoJS.SHA1(getCookie("password"));
        }
    });
    this.setusername.button.on("click",function(event){
        setCookie("username",prompt("Username"),1);
    });
};

Hi @Granted! I guess you get an error on line 5 of the code above? Are you sure this.setpasswo should not be this.setpassword? Please check also the topic below.

On top of Albertos advice, PlayCanvas events allow you to pass the scope of the object as the third parameter. So it should look like this:

Login.prototype.initialize = function() {
    this.setpassword.button.on("click",function(event){
        setCookie("password",prompt("Password"),1);
        if(getCookie("password")!=""){
            this.setpassword.element.text=CryptoJS.SHA1(getCookie("password"));
        }
    }, this);
    this.setusername.button.on("click",function(event){
        setCookie("username",prompt("Username"),1);
    }, this);
};
