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'.

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.
