Code to detect when player is typing in the crafting menu?

[FurryEskimo]

We already have code to detect when the player is typing in the chat, but do we know how to detect when the player is using the crafting menu?

Phew, got it!  Big thanks to Vyuri who's hard work found a solution!  I made a few small edits, but this worked perfectly!

	local playercontroller = ThePlayer.components.playercontroller
	local v1, v2 = playercontroller:IsEnabled()  --"Gives two values, the 2nd value being False means you're using the crafting search bar."
	if playercontroller and v2 == false then  --Don't allow toggle if player is using crafting menu.
		return
	end

So it appears there’s an issue..  When the player is on the character select screen and pressed the key, ThePlayer is called but it crashes the server..  I’ve tried a few ways to fix this but nothing’s worked yet.  Does anyone have a suggestion?

We got it working.  Turns out I made a typo and it wasn't working even though the code was right.

AddModRPCHandler(modname,"ToogleSwimming",ToogleSwimming)

GLOBAL.TheInput:AddKeyDownHandler(GLOBAL.key_to_swim, function()  --Recoded with IronHunter's help.
	if not GLOBAL.ThePlayer or GLOBAL.ThePlayer.prefab ~= "wildchild" or GLOBAL.TheFrontEnd:GetActiveScreen() ~= GLOBAL.ThePlayer.HUD then  --Prevents toggle being used by other players and on character select screen.
		return
	end
	--Now that we can confirm that ThePlayer isn't nil we can attempt to run the player controller code
	local playercontroller = ThePlayer.components.playercontroller
	if playercontroller then
		local v1, v2 = playercontroller:IsEnabled()  --"Gives two values, the 2nd value being False means you're using the crafting search bar."

		if v2 == false then  --Don't allow toggle if player is using crafting search menu.
			return
		end
	end
--[[
	if ThePlayer.HUD ~= nil and ThePlayer.HUD:IsCraftingOpen() then  --Do not toggle ability if crafting menu is open.
		return
	end
--]]

	if GLOBAL.ThePlayer then
		SendModRPCToServer(MOD_RPC[modname]["ToogleSwimming"])
	end
end)
