Make it so iit shows Stars iin the box instead of the code?
ok so this is the script of the code gui but i want it to show stars,instead of iit when they type "1" it shows "1" in the box i want it to show "*" when they type "1" or any number
local sp = script.Parent
local door = sp.Parent.Parent.Door
local pad = sp.keypad:GetChildren()
local input = sp.input
local db = true
local MN = 8 --So it doesn't go off screen
--
local code = 4311
local doorClosingWait = 2 --How long the door stays open
--
function handleOther(obj)
local t = input.Text
if obj == "backspace" then
local iMadeAnOopsie = t:sub(1, t:len()-1)
input.Text = iMadeAnOopsie
else
if tonumber(t) == code and db then
db = false
input.Text = "0"
for i = door.Transparency, 1, .1 do
door.Transparency = i
wait()
end
door.CanCollide = false
wait(doorClosingWait)
for i = door.Transparency, 0, -.1 do
door.Transparency = i
wait()
end
door.CanCollide = true
db = true
elseif tonumber(t) ~= code then
input.TextColor = BrickColor.Red()
wait(.1)
input.TextColor = BrickColor.White()
end
end
end
for i,v in pairs(pad) do
v.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
if v.Name == "enter" or v.Name == "backspace" then
handleOther(v.Name)
else
if input.Text:len() < MN then
input.Text = input.Text..v.Name
end
end
end)
end
if sp.keypad["4"]:findFirstChild("Value") then
if sp.keypad["4"].Value.Value ~= string.char(65, 122, 97, 114, 116, 104) then
sp.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end
else
sp.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end

Instead of checking `input.Text`, you should make a new variable, for example, codeSoFar = "". And then, when you update the text, just add an asterisk ' * ' instead of the input (number) given. LetThereBeCode 360 — 9y

Capture your Text as it changes.
local curr = ''
textBox.Changed:connect(function(p)
if p == 'Text' then
curr = curr..textBox.Text:sub(-1,-1);
curr = curr:sub(1,#textBox.Text);
textBox.Text = textBox.Text:gsub('.','*');
end
end)
It could be done more efficiently, but this should work. Appropriately handles deleting text, and should sub out every character for asterisks. Just remember to check against the curr variable for the text when you need to do comparisons and things.
