Hi I'm trying to write a code that responds to the player writing certain words
so far I have
Code: Select all
$ name = renpy.input("How are you today master?", length=20) or "Noname"
if ((name != "Good") and (name != "Ok") and (name != "Fine") and (name != "Great") and (name != "k")):
jump bad
hide chihiro happy
show chihiro glad
c "That's good to hear!" # %(name)s is old. you can use brackets to do it.
label bad:
c "Aw, well I hope things get better soon."
However if I write in "Good" it still shows me the text I get if i write "Bad" after it shows me the text I egt for the "good" option.
How can I make it so that the text you get for "bad" only shows up if you type anything else except the listed above?
sorry if its difficult to understand what I'm trying to say...

Modified to RenPy 6.15:
Code: Select all
$ name = renpy.input("May I please take your name?", length=20) or "Noname"
# I modified the variable to renpy 6.15
if name != "emily": # if name different from "emily"
jump start
c "Nice to see you again [name] ." # %(name)s is old. you can use brackets to do it.
You using an older version of ren'py. The right would be update.
But the
should work fine in your version.

Oh I see... thank you so much ! Also what would I need to write if I wanted more than one name to be accepted?

Change
to
Code: Select all
if ((name != "emily") and (name != "himekuri") and (name != "anna")):
That should do fine.
CAUTION! you've write the name in lower-case? then, if you write in upper-case, it is wrong. You are driven in start.
you can place "please, write in lower case" in the renpy.input text
OR
use:
Code: Select all
$ name = renpy.input("May I please take your name?", length=20) or "Noname"
# I modified the variable to renpy 6.15
$ name = name.lower()
That will work fine: lower() will change the input to lower-case. lower() is a python command, so it should work in older versions of ren'py.
I cannot grant that lower() will work 100% of times.
EDIT: changed "or" by "and" due "minor" errors.

I'm sorry for coming with another problem but I changed it to
Code: Select all
if ((name != "emily") or (name != "himekuri") or (name != "anna")):
but now regardless of what I enter it takes me back to start D:

Oh, sorry, my error.
I've placed "or", but it should be "and". so the right is:
Code: Select all
if ((name != "emily") and (name != "himekuri") and (name != "anna")):

There is a less painful way than typing (name!="something") every time. You can do:
Code: Select all
if name not in ["emily","himekuri","anna"]:
This is especially useful if there are too many allowed name that you cannot practically type out each one one-by-one. If there are very few number of allowed name, isn't it better if you just less the player choose one from a list instead of asking them to type? They most likely will get the name wrong and then end up having to retry many many times...

The thing is, the game I'm creating is quite different. When you open the game you're kind of playing as a character talking to the game therefore the game asks a question and you type back.
That's why I need to have lots of options.

do the same thing, only the latter is better readable and requires less typing. If you need to have a lot of options, checking membership in a container is better.
