Keyboard Text Input: Keyboard Text Input-1.jpg

Text_Input 1.1
        Author: erpicci


Introduction


        This script allows the player to insert a medium-sized text by typing directly with the keyboard. Inserted text is returned as a string.


        Requires Neon Black's Keyboard Input Script to work.


        It is completely free, both for commercial and non-commercial use. All you are asked to do is to give me credits for the script.


Features

• Plug and play
  
• Type directly from keyboard
  
• Use enter to confirm your input
  
• Use backspace to delete last character
  
• Use "Esc" to quit the input mode (input process will result in an empty string)
  
• No known compatibility issues
  
• Integrates seamlessly with window system
  
• Additional window configuration (position, size, opacity)
  

Screenshots
        As simple as calling a script. These shots shows how to implement an echo message and how to use other options.

How to Use


        Be sure to have Neon Black's Keyboard Input Script installed.


        Place this script in the "Materials" section of the scripts above main.


        To insert a text using an event, create a script event like:


text_var = text_input("Window Title")


        To have a script call the text input, use:


text_var = Scene_Text.read("Window Title")


        Only window title is mandatory. As optional arguments, you can set:

• alignment: "center" (default), "left", "right"
  
• maximum number of character: default is 104
  
• left-to-right: default is true, use false to get a right-to-left input
  
• configuration object (see examples)
  

Examples

Spoiler# Open a window whose title is "Talk to Bobby", text is centered,
# allows to enter up to 20 characters, writing is right-to-left
variable = Scene_Text.read("Talk to Bobby", "center", 20, false)

# Open a window whose title is "Tell me something", text is aligned
# to right, allows to enter up to 88 characters, writing is
# left-to-right (default)
variable = Scene_Text.read("Tell me something", "center", 88)

# Open a window whose title is "Insert text", text is centered
# (default), accepts up to 104 characters (default), writing is
# left-to-right (default)
variable = Scene_Text.read("Insert text")

# Open a window whose title is "Text:", text is centered, allows
# to enter up to 20 characters, writing is left-to-right,
# window is resized, centered in the screen and semi-transparent
config = Scene_Text_Config.new
config.width = 256
config.height = 128
config.verticalAlignment = "center"
config.horizontalAlignment = "center"
config.opacity = 64
variable = Scene_Text.read("Text:", "center", 20, true, config)

# Open a window whose title is "Text:", text is centered, allows
# to enter up to 30 characters, writing is left-to-right,
# window is resized, aligned on the top-right corner and fully transparent
config = Scene_Text_Config.new
config.width = 128
config.height = 256
config.verticalAlignment = "top"
config.horizontalAlignment = "right"
config.opacity = 0
variable = Scene_Text.read("Text:", "center", 30, true, config)

# Open a window whose title is "Text:", text is centered, allows to enter
# up to 20 characters, writing is left-to-right, window is partially
# transparent
config = Scene_Text_Config.new
config.opacity = 160
variable = Scene_Text.read("Text:", "center", 20, true, config)
