hi everyone

i do not know if it is just with my scripts or , maybe there is a problem with my global.lua or with the GetInKey() function

i cant get the GetInKey() function to work, i even used smallg's password script, and also then the GetInKey() do not work in the script. would be nice if someone can just test the GetInKey() and let me know if it is working.
there was only once when i tested it that it responded, but then it only showed the same key every time, does not matter witch key is been pressed on the keyboard.

Thanks for any help.

Hi PCSKILLER, it is working fine. It maybe your code that is causing this issue. When I tested your bank.lua code there are issues with the narrow angle to your entity that will trigger the GetInKey() command. You just need to re-check your code or use someone code that is untouched as a base.

It could be your keyboard and the ten cans of Red Bull spilt over it when you did your last 12 hours session of UT99 online lol
I so love this game... Facing worlds!

how are you using it?
what do you get if you use
Prompt(g_InKey)
and then type in game?
g_InKey is case specific so make sure you are checking for "f" and "F" so that caps lock will still register (personally i would just use g_Scancode.

if you are using a counter to point to the current letter for input then you would reduce the counter (and reset the letter to blank) if the backspace is pressed.

i.e.
input_example.lua
