Editbox

[Lloyd Logan]

Why does this say there is no text in the editbox even if there is?

  
function checkRegField() 
    inputusernamereg = guiGetText(GUIEditor.edituserreg) 
    inputpasswordreg = guiGetText(GUIEditor.editpassreg) 
    if inputusernamereg or inputpasswordreg == "" then 
    guiSetVisible (GUIEditor.window[2], true ) 
     guiBringToFront ( GUIEditor.window[2] ) 
     else  
     triggerServerEvent("submitRegister", getRootElement(), inputusernamereg, inputpasswordreg) 
    end 
end

Try this:

function checkRegField() 
    local inputusernamereg = guiGetText(GUIEditor.edituserreg) 
    local inputpasswordreg = guiGetText(GUIEditor.editpassreg) 
    if inputusernamereg:gsub ( " ", "" ) == "" or inputpasswordreg:gsub ( " ", "" ) == "" then 
        guiSetVisible (GUIEditor.window[2], true ) 
        guiBringToFront ( GUIEditor.window[2] ) 
    else 
        triggerServerEvent("submitRegister", localPlayer, inputusernamereg, inputpasswordreg) 
    end 
end

It works! But, can you explain

gsub 

gsub is part of string.gsub...

It will find arg1 (In this case " ") and replace it with arg2 (In this case "").

In this script, it will remove all the spaces.
