Text Entry turning on switches?

[xXAinSophAurXx]

So I don't know if this is something that would require a plugin, and if so then I would love it if someone could point me towards one, or if this can be done without but my request is the ability to bring a prompt up to allow the player to type an answer in to a question. So far the only instance of typing I can manage is naming players. What I want is the ability to make an event where a switch or variable will only activate if the player types in a specific word with absolutely correct spelling, punctuation, etc. I was originally going to just do multiple choice but thats too easy to just save/load and guess until you win. Does anyone know how I can do this or if there is a plugin I can be pointed towards?

The way I see mentioned/used lots is having a 'blank' actor to rename.

You can then use variables - set one variable to your password by picking the script option and typing your password "inquotationmarks". Then set this typed actor's name to another variable and compare them to see if equal.

Haven't used this method myself but sounds convincing enough ;c.

Let the player name a dummy actor.
Then use Conditional Branch with Actor (tab 2) Name ... applied, and type in the specific word in exactly the format you want them to use. Then just do whatever you need to with the switch/variable if they get it right.

You don't need a plugin.

Is something similar possible in RMXP?

@aguywhoasksquestions Please don't hi-jack a thread with an unrelated question.

What I suggest you do is post a thread in the XP Support forum, explaining clearly what you would like.
