This example shows you how to make a word filter.It can be useful for filtering chat in online games .
The example contains 4 scripts it is well commented and easy to understand by anyone with a little gml knowledge.
BTW:Filters have ids so u can use more than one different filter in the same object
Credits goes to CrazyGamer if used (only if you want)

That's because it searches for words you added to the filter. so it will only filter what you add. I don't think it's possible to make it search for "ugly" and it finds "uuuuuuuuugggggglllllllyyyyyy" . I think that's simply impossible .When someone will be able to do that in gml please tell me .

You don't want it to filter words with extra characters like that. Although it'd be fairly easy to do in GM, you'd filter words that weren't supposed to be. For example, say the word "bot" should be filtered. "boot" is a completely different word, yet you'd end up filtering that too. There's no good way to filter stuff like that, except to manually moderate it.

I just did it : D

/*
filter(text)
*/
var i,curChar,newText;
newText = "";

for(i=1;i<=string_length(argument0);i+=1)
{
curChar = string_char_at(argument0,i);

    if curChar!=string_char_at(argument0,i-1)
    {
    newText+=curChar;
    }
}


if string_lower(newText) = "ugly"
{
return("****");
}


return(argument0);

But as Dark Matter said, it's not good at all to do this since it will filter appropriate words as well, which is why there's no online game filters this way.

Back to your project, there is one tiny bug which is very easy to fix. It filters the word 'ugly' but does not filter the word 'Ugly'.
It's very easy to fix by converting the text into lower characters just before filtering (Which is what I did in the code above). Just use string_lower before filtering.

Good luck!


Edit: In case you don't know what to do, in the script filter_string replace line 6 with this:

i=1;newstr=string_lower(argument1);

I didn't think of that way :-? but even if it is possible as Dark Matter said it would be not a good way because it might filter unwanted words .
And about the bug, thanks, nice observation, i forgot of that. ill edit it and add a new one.
