How do I Implement a "Cheat Code" system?

What is the best way to make possible to enter a cheat code, that would be a word, during gameplay (or in pause menu, where the gameplay is stopped, if it's more simple)?

Well first you would have to decide how you want the cheat code entered. Is there somewhere a player can type like a text box? Or if they enter the correct sequence any time it will trigger during gameplay? Is there a chat system you already have in place, or maybe a console the player can bring up to enter a code?

It would be the "classic style", where you just have to enter the correct sequence os keys, without any text box. hehe

Ok here is how I would do it. Remember there are may ways to implement it.

Basically, you have a variable that you keep appending text to to keep track of what keys are pressed. You'll use expressions to check if the last x characters in this variable match your cheat code then do something.

I'll add in an event to delete the leftmost character after the variable is x length, so it doesn't keep growing forever.

That's exactly what I need! hehe

Thank you very much!
