I wanted to make a game where when the character hits an object a text box will show up. After it shows up I want to be able to close the text so that the character can interact with another object or move around without the text there. Any help? p.s. Uh, I think you have a fan danpost... Do you know DanPostLover?

What code do you have so far? and what condition needs satisfied for the text to be removed?

I didn't know where to start with the coding so I don't really have anything to show. I would like for my character to touch an object in the world and have a textbox pop up then have you click okay to close it.

For that, you will need two actor classes -- one for displaying the message and the other for the button to click on that says 'OK'. You can create these classes separately; but I would code the OKButton class inside the Message class and use the 'addedToWorld(World)' method to have the message object create its own OK button. However you decide to arrange the classes, you will still need to pass the message object on to the button class, so the button can remove the message from the world before removing itself when clicked on.

Message dialog: 
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import greenfoot.core.WorldHandler;

//

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
    WorldHandler.getInstance().getWorldCanvas(),
    "Hey whats up!",
    "Information",
    JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
This will stop the user from interacting until the box gets closed.
