Forget about default textbox restrictions, you can create sprites atop of the textbox

Hello, "TextBox" objects stop working when you take them out of the screen.

I want the "TextBox" object to remain active even if it is off screen.

The object loses focus and text cannot be entered in the textbox.

I want to keep the textbox off screen but with the focus active so that the user can enter text

Is there any way to achieve this ?, maybe using any javascript expression?

TextInput has lots of problems and limitations. The best solution is to not use it:

Thanks for the help, maybe it will help me later.

In the end, what I did was make the textBox invisible so that it doesn't appear on the screen, so I use it as a system to enter text.

It served me, I just needed it for the player to enter his name.
