Input text

Reveres

Hi.

How i can create input text ?

Thanks for answers.

@Reveres please explain more and clearly, information you provided is not enough for us to understand what you want.

@FoxtrotDelta I am guessing they want to know how to get input from the player using the on-screen input box, like Map-Editor does when you search for something. I've never done it so I don't know the answer...

I'm waiting for someone that does, so I can learn as well. Or if nobody replies, I'll find out and post back here, whichever comes first.

@Reveres Here's one way you can do it.

int maxInputLength = 20;
var inputText = Game.GetUserInput(maxInputLength);

That will create a small box in the middle of the screen where you can enter a message. ~~The maximum length of that message is anything up to 60 characters.~~

What the user types is returned in the inputText variable but that variable can be called anything you like.

Edit: Deleted that line because I was going off the default window title.

To get input from user.
string got = Game.GetUserInput(7);

7 is amount of charcters

Just to add to what myself and @aimless have posted...

The input box has a maximum number of characters on a single line of 68. If you choose a number higher than 68, the box will have more lines.

So if you did:
var inputText = Game.GetUserInput(255);

You would get a box that is 68 characters wide and 4 lines high.

Game.GetUserInput() also has 4 overloads, that let you set the WindowTitle and DefaultText properties, as well as the maxLength.

If you're not using ScriptHookVDotNet,

using namespace GTA::Natives::Gameplay;

DISPLAY_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD(true, "titleText(gxtLabelOnly)", "", "prePresentText", "", "", "", maxChars + 1);

while (UPDATE_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD() == 0)
{
WAIT(0);
}
if (UPDATE_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD() == 2)
{
result = "If ESC is pressed";
}

result = GET_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD_RESULT();

Yup it is what i'm looking for.
PS.: How can I change position of "on-screen input box" ?

Sorry for my bad english

@Reveres You can't change the position as far as I can tell, it always appears in the middle of the screen.

Your English is fine, you never have to apologise for that.

Reveres

Ok thanks

You can make a custom input box from scratch if you want it at a different position, but the default gta one is in the middle.
