Hi Guys,
Did u ever hate the fact that the only way you can delete characters using the keyboard sensor is by pressing the darn backspace a million times?? Well no more is this an issue! Just use this script to type in your game exactly how windows is supposed to!
If you have any questions, let me know.
Cheers

#Script Purpose? This script is used to send keys to your game exactly how a normal windows computer should. By sending keys while holding a
#key, and best of all!! backspacing how windows computers should! I hope you enjoy this script as much i do.

#Cheers,

#Instructions:
# 1. Create a Text Object and toggle the Text property as a "String".
# Used as a target property for displaying text.
# 2. Add a boolean property named "Log" --> set it to "True".
# Used to turn on or off keysending for this object.
# 3. Add a string property named "TargetProp" --> set the string to the property you would like to add text to("Text" Recommended).
# Used for setting the property you would like to send text to.
# 4. Add a keyboard Sensor named "Keyboard"--> Set to true pulse mode 2 --> activate(AllKeys).
# Used for activating/deactivating this script.
# 5. Add a python controller --> Set this current Script Name.
# Used for setting this script to run.
# 6. Link the keyboard sensor to the python controller.
# Used to activate this script.
# 7. Happy Typing :)
