2 simple codes (Input names and blinking)

[MimirollCookie]

Howdy y'all!
I'm making a practice project! And I decided to show some simple codes for you guys to use!
1. Player-input names
Here's a simple code for the input name. (And an example dialogue.)
First, define the characters!

Code: Select all

define e = Character("[name")

Second, Do this!

Code: Select all

 $ name = renpy.input("What's your name?")
    $ name = name.strip()
    "Hi [name]."

Uguu!~ Just one? Then that's no problem!
First, define the characters!

Code: Select all

define e = Character("[name")
define a = Character("[name2]")

Code: Select all

  $ name = renpy.input("What's your name?")
    $ name = name.strip()
    $ name2 = renpy.input("What's your friend's name?")
    $ name2 = name2.strip()
    "Hi [name] and [name2]."

Want more? Just copy the name2 and make name3 and so on...
2. Blinking expressions!
This is a cool feature for your game!
Do this code. (I used DejiNyucu's Free Rin sprite as an example aaand copied the code from my practice project. :3)
First, you should get a sprite with one open-eyed and the other closed.
Then, copy this code!

Code: Select all

image rin cry blink:
    "sniff.png"
    pause .9
    "sniffclose.png"
    pause .2
    repeat

(Those pause can change too. pause 1 and so on.)
Then, voila!

Code: Select all

show rin cry blink
    with dissolve
    
    e"Umm... Welcome to Rin project 101."
    e"I'm Rin Kagamine, but please call me Rin."

Hope the code will help in simple projects.

Wow, thanks Mimiroll! I just started to use Ren'Py a few days ago and am learning a little bit of python along the way. Simple lines of code are easy enough to understand how and why they work, plus it lets me mess around with a practice vn.

Also your avatar is super adorable. Totes wanna give her a cookie and pat on the head.

I'm glad the codes helped. ^_^

Have you checked indentation ?

Seems off in the code you pasted.

[MimirollCookie]

Ummm.... Yes. Sorry about that. ^_^;
I'll fix it later. :>

the code is o.k but too many steps compare with the text input that renpy has in the system.

Code: Select all

define pov = Character("[povname]")

python:
    povname = renpy.input("What is your name?")
    povname = povname.strip()

    if not povname:
         povname = "Pat Smith"

pov "My name is [povname]!"

also has a side note you dont need to name it "povname" that is a tag that the computer finds and connects it. so it can be anything from human1, kid1, player1, etc. this code allows to the developer to code the name without extra unneeded steps and its much more clean way as well.

Thanks firecat. Your code is more detailed. xD
