when u have an existing 'ifupkey()' etc code is there a way to stop an object moving forward/backward by stopping the upkey() code when something is happening for example if a rpg text box is on screen?

thanks in advance

kRx,

I believe this will answer your question. Wrap the line if upkey() = 1 then move object ... in a single if statement like below.



Where textbox is a boolean variable which should be set to either 0 or 1. So, when the text box is activated within your program, then set the variable textbox to 1. When the text box is deactivated, then set textbox to 0. In this end, only the object will move when there is not textbox on the screen.
