Hi,

I've a little Problem with scaling the TextInput.

As you see the inputfields are created. But the words the player types in are to small. how can I scale them for better reading in the event sheet?

You can try selecting/deselecting "Auto font size" property, or increasing the font size with CSS.

But I don't like using TextInput in games, it's easy to make your own text input which will work better, will scale correctly, will not steal focus etc. See these links:

I was facing the same problem.

What did the trick for me was to place a TextInput object in the editors layout and to untick "Auto font size". You can place it off-screen and delete it on startup. The following TextInput objects that you spawn will keep the settings.
