:::OK, so I sort of looked into this, and this is what I found: | |||
:::First of all, you can't type in the Console while the script is running. The call to MessageBox closes the Console. The script continues to run just fine, however. | |||
:::Secondly, there is no good way to prevent this. '''MenuMode 3''', which is supposed to return true if the Console is open, does not do so if a MessageBox is also open. It is therefore impossible to detect when the script should stop checking keypresses. | |||
:::So there is, unfortunately, no way to support using the Console during the script (except to read stuff, anyway). | |||
:::Also, I attempted to implement some more characters, and I found that the percent sign (%) and the semicolon (;) were also impossible to support. The semicolon causes the rest of the line to be a comment, so it fails to see it as part of the string, and the percentage sign crashes the game when it's typed. | |||
:::The percent sign is, I believe, a bug in OBSE that was previously reported by someone else... perhaps Kyoma? The semicolon, of course, was known previously. | |||
