How to change ui.input into a button?

[namastaii]

Is it because I'm using the old ui stuff along with the newer? Think I can put it all into one entity?

like it resets the text input completely back to nothing if i change the appearance after i put the name in. so it will only work if the last thing i change is the text.

New/Old stuff shouldn't matter. There is no good reason for you to use ui module anywhere in your code but it should not matter if you do. I am not sure what could force it to reset, maybe you can restart interaction in the functions or something...

...What if I made blank buttons where the name boxes are? and when the player clicks on the button, it opens up the input then when they push enter it closes it but shows the empty button again (but with the new string name displayed) i think I'm going to attempt this

This is an option... but buttons will not change size with the input text if you simply open a new screen over them and if you add input to the buttons on conditioning, enter will not remove them (that's why I said you'll have to mess with the classes). If you're opening new screens with the buttons, it will work but it will freeze everything else.

Yeah, I'll have to mess around with what works best..I'm sure I'll come up with something eventually. And when I do, I'll post it here.
