Input Field is open.

Actions

If you need multiple input fields.

Do not place multiple instances with this extension in a scene. The "Is Finished" condition will no longer work.

Even if there are multiple objects to which this behavior is added, there will be only one Input Field generated.

This can be solved by using variables or "Linked Objects".

Design customization (advanced)

This extension is designed to work with various resolutions, but if you want to change the appearance, you need to edit the extension.

Edit the stylesheet written in onCreated of Behavior functions.

HTML

<div id="InputCJK_Extension_div" style="display: none;">
  <input type="text">
  <button type="button">OK</button>
</div>

Known Issues
