Heya! It's been a while. Can you help me with the script part? I want to print the input to a text or choice window, but I do not know how. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

hello, I love this plugin, but I have a problem, if I run it on android, the player can't write. Is there any script that shows the mobile or game keyboard?

Thank you very much :)

Hello! 

Thank you very much for your kind support ๐Ÿ™. For Android, this is not really plugin related since it's a known limit of HTML5 technologies that are the base of RPG Maker exports. Indeed, VirtualKeyboard API would be the starting point of making Rpg Maker applications compatible with Android keyboard - because it allows control over the keyboard itself -. However this API was not available at the time of the plugin and today is still an experimental feature. 

Unfortunately on my knowledge there is not too much that it's possible to do on the technical side. 

However, some time ago a friend of mine surpassed this problem using plugins that allows to bind pictures on screen forcing the execution of a common event on touch (like VisuStella common events if I remember correctly). 

In a few words, he created a board with key's pictures binding them to a common event that was adding a character (like result_string += "a") every time the pictures were pressed. This is a matter for expert eventers that has at least a little knowledge of JS too... but I think you can find your own way if you may be interested in this kind of systems :)

Thank you again!

Ooh I understand, mmm thank you very much ๐Ÿˆ I guess even if I don't know Js I'll try it anyway, after all I find it a very nice thing to do ๐Ÿฅฐ although complex.

I think I'll try to study to be able to expand to more development programs like Game maker for example ๐Ÿ˜… although for now I'll keep developing in RPG maker โค๏ธ

Works perfectly! Would love to see an option for the text to scroll when overflowed ^_^

Thank you for your feedback! 

I'm adding this to my todo since I'm planning to do some products update as soon as I get free from some life duties.  Thank you again for choosing my plugin!

Bought this and was looking forward to using, but it seems it does not get along at ALL with the YEP/yanfly plugins. I'm a little surprised it wasn't tested with these, as they're some of the most common plugins around. Can this be fixed? Hopefully it's just a matter of smoothing things over with Core and SkillCostItems, as those are the ones named here. Trying to use on MV.

Never mind, I'm an idiot, screwed up my js. Gotta have an '=' after var options, it's not a method/function.

This is absolutely wonderful, thank you! I bought it, downloaded it, and started doing all sorts of wonderful things with this. I appreciate this a lot!

Is there a way to interrupt the input of a textbox, such as if the player runs out a timer?

Hello there!

Thank you so much for your feedback. About your question, currently, there Is not a feature of this sort. Actually, there could be a way if we try to combine eventing with Keyboard Windows inner methods (ex. Having an event in loop that checks for the Activity of the keyboard Window and then forces the "confirm" method of the Window After a Number of cycles).

However, it's a try and catch application and for a released game could not be as much as solid as needed. But, I take note of your idea and, when I'll get free from some job duties I Will push the update for this plugin including a system for interrupting typing :)

Thank you!

That's a bit unfortunate, but I'll wait patiently for if you decide to follow up on it. Thank you very much for the response, and thank you again for your hard work on this plug-in!

I wish there was a tutorial on how to set up the secret word! I'm lost lmao, I can only get the window up and be able to type in it, but not actually be connected to a word :c 

Yeah, I'm trying to figure that out myself

Hello! I'm sorry for the late reply, I lost your comment.

So, about your question. It's actually pretty simple because it's just a Conditional Branch using the Script field in the fourth page of branch configuration. 


So, if the variable where you set the typed value is the variable of ID 1 you will have this script: 

String($gameVariables.value(1)).toLowerCase() === "my secret word"

where:

  • $gameVariables.value(variableId) is the variable where the typed text is stored;
  • The String(value) constructor is needed for being sure that the content is considered a string;
  • toLowerCase() is a method that is needed to lowercase all the typed text for avoiding that capitalized letters makes the check return false (if you need a case sensitive check, just remove .toLowerCase())

Finally, your secret word inside quotation marks :)

Cheers!

Thank you so much! This actually helps a lot.

I wonder does it works for self variables? I use self variables declared in name of variable as "<self> name" from VisuStella. Will it work as self names for events? 

hi! That's difficult to tell since self variables are not something that Is available as default by Rpg Maker. If this is something that could be eventually compatibile with the default variable system, It could be possible, but i can't tell for sure.

This plugin works wonder when running on a PC. When I try to run through a browser on mhy mobile (Android or iOS) the keyboard does not come up. This is a big pity for me because all the other plugins for the (normally simple) task of inputting a string take many seconds to process or clutter the screen with lots of keys. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

recently bought this plug in for my game. Im trying to use in dialogue where certain words can trigger an event or another dialogue branch and also to be used as entering a password. could you point me in the right direction on how to achieve this? thank you

Hi!

I just bought your plugin: the default version works but not personalized ones; like this one under. I rechecked again but I don't see the problem. I don't have a SyntaxError, the window just don't open and the event goes on.

Also, could you tell me what is the script call to verify the word that people type?

To verify when I type "Test", I tried in a conditional branch to type under Script: $gameVariables.value(20) == "Test"

But this doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks again!

Hi there! Sorry for the late reply. Inside your config I can se an error. "letter_sound" is not an option for setting a custom sound letter, but only for enabling/disabling it (true or false). Right now, the plugin can't set custom letters' sound, but as It's a feature that has been requeasted by a lot of customers, I was planning to add it inside a quality of update of the plugin.

Right now I'm quite busy, but I was thinking to make some plugins' updates next week. Hopefully, I will make the update of this one, too :D

Hi! So sorry to bother you with this quite insignificant mistake! That's a great plugin!

(I'll be there to follow the updates if you make some, thank you a lot!)

Not a problem, thank you very much for your feedback and for using the plugin!

Hello! Whenever I try to use your plugin, it says:

Syntax Error
Unexpected Number

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Hello there!

Thank you for reporting! Can you show me the settings you use for calling the window?

(2 edits)

There is an syntax error inside the script call. You have missed the double dots (:) after the variable declaration. Moreover, you have called the variable "option" but you have assigned to the method "options". So, it should work good if you correct the code this way: 

var options = {

placeholder: 'What is your name?',

max_characters: 10,

variable : 11

}

EDIT :

You have assigned variable 11, but you're calling in the variable "name" the variable of ID 5. The correct format would be : 

var name = $gameVariables.value(11)

Ah yes, it works perfectly now! Sorry for bothering you with this small mistake. Thank you so much for a great plugin!

It's not a problem! 

Thank you so much for the support!
