Hello I’ve been trying to use DirectEntry to create a chatbox, but I can’t seem to move the text from starting at the center of the screen. Can anyone help me with this? 
Here is the code:
import direct.directbase.DirectStart
from direct.task import Task
from direct.actor import Actor
import math
from direct.directbase.DirectStart import *
from pandac.PandaModules import *
from direct.gui.DirectGui import *
#Load the first environment model
environ = loader.loadModel(“models/environment”)
environ.reparentTo(render)
environ.setScale(0.1,0.1,0.1)
environ.setPos(-8,42,0)
#Task to move the camera
def SpinCameraTask(task):
base.camera.setPos(0,0,1)
base.camera.setHpr(15, 0, 0)
return Task.cont
taskMgr.add(SpinCameraTask, “SpinCameraTask”)
def handleCommand(value):
print “value = %s” % (value)
entry = DirectEntry(width = 10,
numLines = 3,
scale = 0.1,
relief = GROOVE,
cursorKeys = 1,
frameSize = (3, 12, -3.5, -8),
frameColor = (225, 126, 54, 0.3))
entry2 = DirectScrolledFrame(frameSize = (3, 12, 7, -3),
scale = 0.1,
relief = GROOVE,
frameColor = (225, 126, 54, 0.3),
canvasSize = (3, 12, 5, -3),
autoHideScrollBars = “TRUE” )
frame = DirectFrame(scale = 0.1,
relief = GROOVE,
frameSize = (3, 12, -3.5, -8),
frameColor = (225, 126, 54, 0.3))
run()
