"Better" NameInput ( Deleting Letters )

[W1_jC 0]

Better NameInput

 

Description

 

Hi, this is my first Script I release here.

My friends kept asking, how they delete letters in the Name Input Window, because "Esc" or "Num 0" isn't really intuitive,

I changed the Window so there is now a "«" symbol to remove other letters.

I had to remove some other symbols, because there was no more space.

Feel free to add again some special characters you wish for into free slots.

 

Features

I would re-write the window to make it bigger.

Thanks for replying

yes, but normal Gamers don't erase letters with the "ESC" button

I had to remove some other symbols, because there was no more space.

 

I would re-write the window to make it bigger.

Also there were symbols like "<" and even '«' itself. It would be just confusing if it is two times in the list.

And I don't really see the sense in having symbols like #'+$§() in a real name.

But whatever, feel free to make an update
