Multiple lines in text input

[Flying Robot]

I was wondering if we can get mutiple lines while inputing text into Actions.

Right now, it's only single line, very troublesome for long text inputs.

Definitely, I think thats one of the main reasons people ask for external text file reading ability.

This action Jean made does that for the input field (Latest version on wiki)

I glanced in the action script and couldn't see how the field was scaled up. Maybe you can figure it out and edit your actions as needed?

Hi,

 You actually only need to write a custom editor for the action you want to have multi line text editing. you don't need to touch the action script itself.

 This could be a future enhancement of all string fields tho, the ability to switch to multi line for ANY string fields within actions.

bye,
