Features :

I know there is a few keyboard input scripts out there but not like this one... this one works fundamentally different then the others you press and key and it returns what was pressed... which lets you easily have string input for names, conversations, or what ever you see fit…

Syntax:

Code:

if Input.get_function == "function"
if Input.get_letters== "letter"
if Input.get_numbers == "number"
if Input.get_key == "char"
if Input.get_direction== "number" # Number Pad

Script :

Code:
