[Q]String input besides renpy.input

[Nandaka]

hello, I'm new in renpy&python programming.

I want to ask if there is another way to input a string besides using renpy.input? maybe ui.input or ui.inputtextbox.

I want to set character name like in clannad(they using text boxes for first and family name), but I cant find text box.

if I use renpy.input, I must add at least 1 argument like this: $ name = renpy.input("question?").

thanks

I don't think there anything other than renpy.input
This means you'll just have to ask the player twice.

Code: Select all

$ family = renpy.input("What is your family name?" ) or "J"
$ name = renpy.input("What is your last name?") or "Quartz"
$ full=family +' '+ name
    
full 'My name is %(full)s.'
    
full 'If you are close to me you may call me %(name)s.'
full 'Else it would be Mr. %(family)s to you.'

It *would* be nice to have input textboxes though ^^;

[Nandaka]

is it possible to use native python textbox (if there is any)? if I'm not wrong, some program using python in windows(i.e bittornado) is using python language is have textboxes. can we use that?

too bad I dont know about python language >.<

or

is it possible to have 2 renpy.input in the same time? so I can use that to replace the textbox.

for now I'm using JQuartz solutions

thank you

The answer is no. There's no such thing as a "native python textbox". Python can interface to various GUI toolkits, like Tkinter, GTK, WX, Windows, and so on... but there's no single one, and none of them work with pygame, which is what Ren'Py is based on.

An improved input displayable is on the horizon, but probably won't be out before the next release.
