Um....could someone knowledgeable please help me? (That may not be the right word.)
*That can be placed ANYWHERE on the screen* Sorry about that.

There's no built-in text-box object that can be moved around. Most people use stamping to draw text with sprites, based on keyboard input.
*face palm* nvm guys.
Ya there isn't a built in text box, but there are ways to make your own. It's pretty complicated... and I probably couldn't explain it properly myself. I suggest looking for games or simulators that allow you to type. I don't think you should give up... it's difficult but not impossible. I'll try to find a game that uses typing so you can see what I mean

Re: Input Box Script
when gf clicked
forever
if <key [a v] pressed>
switch to costume [a v]
stamp
change x by (10)
add [b] to [anwer list v]
end
if <key [b v] pressed>
switch to costume [b v]
stamp
change x by (10)
add [b] to [anwer list v]
end
if <(x postion) = (100)>
set x to (-100)
change y by (10)
end
end
end
then this to put list into a variblewhen I recieve [put word together v] repeat <length of [answer list v]> set [number v] to (1) set [answer v] to <<position (number) of [answer list v]> join <position <(number) + [1]> of [answer list v]>> change [number] by [1]

Re: Input Box Script
pizza22, your script won't sense key inputs correctly due to the linear processing. you'll need something like this for every key
when [a v] key pressed add [a] to [queue v]and then
when gf clicked forever if <(length of [queue v]) > [0]> switch to costume (item (1 v) of [queue v]) stamp change x by (8) add (item (1 v) of [queue v]) to [answer v] delete (1 v) of [queue v](example)

Re: Input Box Script
Ok! I wasn't quite sure what you wanted exactly but here are a few projects that use typing in a few different ways. Maybe you can play around with these scripts to make the text box you wanted.

Hope these are helpful

However, if you use my recieve above, you can get the whol list into a varible
that doesnt work either, it will only join 2 letters together, and it does not grow.
when I receive [join v] set [c v] to [1] set [clump v] to [] repeat (length of [answer v]) set [clump v] to (join (clump) (item (c) of [answer v]) ) change [c v] by (1) end
