How can I conditionally branch on the length of text entered in TextInput()?

Post by misaki_e »

Hi,

If the player entered only one character as his/her name in the text input field, I would like to have a NPC ask the player something like "Are you sure?” How can I set the condition by the length of text entered?

Hi,
