Is there an action for the MouseKeyboard object where you can enable/disable this object?

There are many actions which involve enabling/disabling stuff in Construct, but I can't seem to do it for something so simple like the MouseKeyboard object.

Thanks.

For behaviors like platform and 8direction you can set "ignoring input". For MouseKeybord there is no action for disabling it.

But if you add MouseKeyboard to a container with another object that can be destroyed, then the Mousekeyboard can be destroyed, effectively disabling it. To re-enable just create a new MouseKeyboard, but be sure to only make one.

A better solution would be to use a global variable comparison with all your keyboard events:

ex:

+ System: Is global variable 'MouseKeyboardaActive' Equal to 1

+ MouseKeyboard: On key Enter pressed
