Stando Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Hello everyone. Stando here. I am looking for someone to assist me/give me a tutorial in allowing user input for a GUI. I would like this GUI to accept any monster id so the user will automatically attack the monster. I know how to do this with JCombobox, but not with JTextField. Would anyone with this sort of knowledge be able to assist me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BravoTaco Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 If you are not needing an entire GUI, you could use the JOptionPane class, it allows you to bring up a modal input dialog box with just one line of code. String monsterID = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter the monster ID."); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
