No backspace button in Name input Processing event?

[RickardB 0]

Hello,

 

I was playtesting my game and experimentating with the Name input processing event

And i discovered that there was no backspace button in the LATIN01-02 alphabet.

 

I dugged a bit deeper in the code to look for some evidence of a backspace button existing(if i had accidentaly deleted that character)

 

And i found this:

 

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

# * Go Back One Character

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

def process_back

Sound.play_cancel if @edit_window.back

 

Does that mean there is a backspace button?

 

is there anyway to assign it to a letter if it works in that way?

 

-Many thanks in advance!

(I apologize if i have any Spelling mistakes, English is not my native language)

Isn't it ESC?

Yeah, that puzzled me for a long time. Esc should work, and I suppose that if it does X should also work, though I've never tried using the latter myself.

Here's a simple script I just wrote that changes the space on the first page of characters to a backspace button. The space on the second page will still be a space.

  def is_backspace?
    @index == 87 && @page == 0
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def process_ok
    if !character.empty?
      on_name_add
    elsif is_backspace?
      process_back
    elsif is_page_change?
      Sound.play_ok
      cursor_pagedown
    elsif is_ok?
      on_name_ok
    end
  end
end
