This function controls the input mode to define whether or not (and when) keybinds or MTA binds are overridden (disabled) so that text can be input into an editbox, for example. Available input modes are:

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Syntax

bool guiSetInputMode ( string mode )
Required Arguments
  • mode: a string representing the desired input mode. Accepted values are: "allow_binds": binds are enabled, hence using a key such as t in an editbox will still open the chatbox (default) "no_binds": binds are disabled, hence using a key such as t will never open the chatbox "no_binds_when_editing": binds are enabled except when an editbox or memo has input focus

Returns

  • bool: value

Returns true if input mode could be changed, false if invalid parameters are passed.

Code Examples

shared 
function onClientResourceStartSetGUIInputMode()
  guiSetInputMode("no_binds_when_editing") -- Calls guiSetInputMode once and for all to not have to handle binds state dynamically
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, onClientResourceStartSetGUIInputMode)
