[Solved] How to Focus and Un Focus Input Field on KeyDown

Unity Engine
1

This is basically my script:

void Update ()
{
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Return) && !isChatFocused)
    {
        isChatFocused = true;

        inputField.ActivateInputField();
    }
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Return) && isChatFocused)
    {
        isChatFocused = false;

        inputField.DeactivateInputField();
    }
}

The first part works fine and I am able to focus on the Input Field but for some reason I am not able to Un Focus from it when I press Return again. Please help.

I solved this problem by using else if statements.

For example:

void Update ()
{
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Return) && !isChatFocused)
    {
        isChatFocused = true;
   
        inputField.ActivateInputField();
    }
    else if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Return) && isChatFocused)
    {
        isChatFocused = false;
   
        inputField.DeactivateInputField();
    } 
}
