A plugin to use the numeric keypad

[Saneterre]

Hello everyone,
I'm making a maths game on MV, where you have to give the results of calculations/operations. On PC, it would be extremely helpful (and logical) to be able to use the numeric keypad to input the number directly, instead of using up and down arrows to generate the number.


Resource Type: Plugin

Maker Format: MV

Description: when a player uses the "input number" event function, I want to be able to use the numeric keypad to input the number.

I would be very grateful if someone could help me there.

here is one (can be complicated), but function

I know this one but you have to click on it (and it's really small). I just want to use my keyboard directly.

I know another plugin, but it can also use letters and numbers and not a keypad thing, but Other than that, I dont know if there is any,
SRD has a plugin, but idk if it counts for numbers as well, else it need to be made, Im a very slow plugin builder, so I cant do it for you atm.
as well im also busy a plugin which take time, specially in my busy days.

If im able to find one that fits your needs, than I tell you though.
But I hope someone else can get it before me though to be honest =) that keypad used on mouse and keyboard in put would be best though.

Thanks for your answer, shadowdragon. Maybe someone will make it some day.
If some plugin developpers are watching this thread, I would be willing to pay for this plugin. They can contact me by PM. (Affordable price, please^^)

I also need a keypad though, that does the same, but can be used as for mouse and keyboard for faster acces, which is usefull
for most ppls anyway. but I might make it when im there or just event it (which you can do as well)

it isn't that hard to do that as well though, it takes a bit of time
if you go to my tutorial on how to build an event image menu, you can do something like that
in eventing a customized keypad while keyboard work too.

but plugin would be smoother in handling it. but this is only a suggestion as well though, you can build it in the
same way as building an image menu but the setup differs a little ^^

This is an interesting request, and it seems like it would be useful.

I don't think I have time to make it, but anyone interested can check my signature -- in my Notepad plugin I created an input loop that reads input from the keyboard (including numbers). Much of that could be adapted to work inside the Input Number window.

SRD also has a Name Input plugin that reads from the keyboard that could be used for inspiration also.

@ShadowDragon : a keypad would be good (but I really don't like the one you posted at first. Too small and necessitates other plugins. Plus I didn't manage to get the number to go into a value I can use...)

@Aloe Guvner: your plugin looks great. Not what Im looking for here, of course, but I may use it on a project. Maybe I should ask SRD for help. His plugin might need just a slight modification to do what I'm looking for.

@Saneterre Looks like somehow yanfly heard your request and released a key number input plugin yesterday. I haven't looked at it too much myself, but seems to be just what you needed.

 

[Saneterre]

haha I just saw that. I'll have to look into it but it sounds promising ^^

Edit : Ok, I've just tested it and it's just exactly what I was looking for. This thread can be closed. (I'am happy to be one of yanfly's patrons lol)
