KX_FontObject["Text"] not set correct on spawned objects

[sevi78]

          I just found out, that whenever one adds a KX_FontObject with python or Actuator, the text assigned is always on all instances of the KX_FontObject---makes it impossible to assign text in realtime to spawned Texts. ... or i might be dumb as a donkey :) 

import bge
G = bge.logic
sce = G.getCurrentScene()

t = sce.addObject("Text",own,0.0)
t.worldPosition = (-2,0,0)
t["Text"] = "text"
## so far so good, t["Text"] shows "text"

## now after adding another Text, t["Text"] shows "text2"
t1 = sce.addObject("Text",own,0.0)
t1.worldPosition = (0,0,0)
t1["Text"] = "text2"

i have also tried with instantAddObject and Actuators with the same result

Thanks so much !! you are my hero! but:

AttributeError: 'KX_FontObject' object has no attribute 'data'

[BluePrintRandom]

oh sorry

t1 = sce.addObject("Text",own,0.0)
t1.blenderObject.data = t1.blenderObject.data.copy()
t1.worldPosition = (0,0,0)
t1["Text"] = "text2"

KX_Object.blenderObject is the bpy.data.objects ob the KX_Object is 'wearing'

[sevi78]

works !!! thanks ! i mean its a workaround, would be nice to have the behaviour like a KX_GameObject. Buts its fine for me

if we edit a mesh, all copies 'wearing' the mesh are effected.

so it is the same really, but instead of editing a mesh we are editing a text object,

the blender text object can do all sorts of fancy stuff using KX_Font.BlenderObject.data.curves I believe. (like set the text to use multiple materials)
