Hello,

when prompting the user to input a string, how can it be done and make the string invisible afterwards?

Greetings GMKai

Either remove the layer added by InKeyStr() or restore the background in the area where the string is.

Hallo Andreas, good, this works. but how do InKeyStr-Layers get their name when their id is unknown?

The layer added by InKeyStr() does not bear a name. You can find out its ID using
This will retrieve the numbers of layers currently in the system. Right after InKeyStr() returns, this number is the ID of the InKeyStr() layer because this layer is the top-most one.
