how do i allow a player to input text so they can password unlock levels?

When you click on the 'text' button in actor control, the text window opens. At the bottom left is a button that says 'text input'. Set it to 'yes'. You can change things like cursor coulour, and add borders and backgrounds to your text by clicking 'configure'.

im aware of that feature. But can you be more specific about a player inputing text at the begining of a game?

Are you?

i have a multi level game. I would like to allow a player to use a password to resume at the last level they played just like original "doom"
How do i make the text they input supply an action in the game to unlock the last level?

You use the text input to put a code in. Then you have an 'enter' button to click on, or press a key, and it checks the text, and if it is the right code, load the level.
