How to know if the player is typing something in a specified GUI

[Leo Messi]

It's so easy and simple, 

For example I created an EDIT

edit = guiCreateEdit(x, y, sX, sY, "title", false, window)

I want to know if the player is typing something in this edit or not, is it possible?

Listen for onClientGUIFocus and onClientGUIBlur.

Or trigger an event when the player types anything and set a timer to reset the status

I wanna do it like;

function isPlayerTypingSomething(edit)

  if blah then

   isTyping = true

 else

   isTyping = false

 end

  return isTyping 

  end

end

 

To check if the localPlayer is typing something in the edit-box or not, if he stops typing it will set isTyping value into false, and if he's typing it will set isTyping value into true, I hope you get it.

Use https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnClientGUIChanged it will trigger whenever someone is typing in an editbox.

If you want to constantly check if someone is typing then use the focus and blur events like MIKI suggested.

Suggestion for this script.

This is a long hassle, here's an easier method.

function isPlayerTyping (player) -- change this
  return blah -- this is the function that checks if he's typing. function returns true/false, result will be the same
end
