I decided to finish my new track, so i went on ai nodes, and wanted to change something then i realised, on my new laptop theres no num pad!!!!!!! i cant place instances, ai nodes or anything :( and i really wanted to get this finished...

is there any other ways apart from getting a keyboard and plugging it in?

Well I really think no , maybe you should buy a mouse ,
maybe was better if you send the track to someone and make a team track.
Or maybe try to go to a friend to finish the track. But it's strange because
all laptop's should have keyboard ...

i have a mouse and of course it has a keyboard, which ones dont? lmao i mean it doesnt have the 9 numbers at the right side so i cant rotate prms and adjust racing lines.

also the track is working and could be submitted but id rather add some finishing touches and make it better.

oh now I understand , hmmm
I really don't know what you can do without those buttons.
Try to add instances in those place where they can be put however.
About the nodes I really don't know how to help you. Ask somebody to
make the AI Nodes for you.

you can also use the FN button with some of the letters (should be really tiny numbers printed on certain letters that make up a numberpad). its annoying as hell, but it works. if i were you i would just buy that external number pad though.

Yeah, typically the Function or FN button on a laptop enables the numpad. The numbers should be to the right side of your laptop keyboard and usually are printed in color text alongside the other keys.

The FN is annoying and I will suggest you to buy a wireless numpad like the one Logitech made. I bought one for about 50$
