Greetings users of the Gimkit Forums,
I’m actually surprised I couldn’t find a guide for this. I thought of how many things you could do with it and thought, “We need a guide for this.” So without further delay,
How to make a working keyboard in Gimkit Creative.
This will take the current text and add whatever character you tell it to at the end. It will then broadcast on a channel that will change a text device’s content to the “Text” property.
You will then get a text device and place it. I changed the text size to 40, but you can pick any size. Create a code block and click “When receiving on channel…” and type “Change Text”
Set Collision Enabled --> No
Change the size to a small square. Copy and paste these barriers into a keyboard pattern. Get a new text device, change the size to 50, and place it on top of each barrier. Change the text to the main characters on a keyboard.
(The value of “Text” is a space, but type nothing for “Next Letter”)
Possible Uses
This could be used for many things in a map. You could use it to send a message to other players, type commands, and much more. Let me know if you have ideas for uses of this.
Thanks for reading, have fun creating, and I’ll see you around the forums!
The concerns might be something about sending inappropriate things with a keyboard, but overall I think it’s helpful. I might use it in my game actually.
