<p>Considering I'm reading this right, while the delay is active, you could always place another GUI element over the text box. I'm pretty sure you can't activate text boxes if they're under other GUI elements.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: Also set the <code>TextBox</code>"visible" property to false.</p>

The first and third digits are called <code>Scale</code>. The second and fourth digits are called <code>Offset</code>. You should <strong>...
