Typing in Edit Box Without Clicking?

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    Hello!

    So, I'm creating a game that uses an Edit Box for the player to type their name in to start. However, the player has to click on the edit box to start typing, which is a tad annoying. Is there a way to let the player type into the edit box without clicking first?

    Thanks!

    The edit box object has an action that gives it focus. You'll find it under:
    "Control" > "Focus" > "On"

    Simply put that action on an event condition like "Start of Frame" and you won't have to click the box before typing anymore.
