Trying to create a machine that gets the user's text input and pushes it to a variable. Having difficulty understanding why my code in its current state isn't working.

#

I'm very new to this so I don't know most of the nomenclature Bolt uses.

#

Ignore the variable warning. I realized after taking the screenshot what was wrong 🤦

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

^ just so you know question is not being ignored lol. Not sure how UVS works with built-in custom types like that. Or if there is a more recommended set of nodes to use instead for TMP

#

I think text is not a string

#

text.text is a string though

sleek forge `text.text` is a string though

literally, like I think Text is referring to your text object, not the contents of the text

#

the text object has a text property, THAT contains your input data
