[SOLVED] How to have two styles for input?

[M0ti]

Hi, in my VN I want to use input two times, but because it's in different situations I want them to look differently. I have learned how to customize input_window but I don't know how to make second style and how to change between them in game.
I have tried something like this:

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    if inp == 1:
        style.input_window.background =("input.png")
        style.input_window.yminimum = 79
        style.input_window.xminimum = 300
        style.input_window.left_padding = 10
        style.input_window.top_padding = 20
        etc.
    elif inp == 2:
        style.input_window.background =("hacking.png")
        style.input_window.yminimum = 40
        style.input_window.xminimum = 500
        etc.

label start:
    $ inp = 1
    $ hack = ""
    $ heslo = ""

    ...
    $ heslo = renpy.input (" ",length = 10) or ("nic")
    
    ...

    $ inp = 2
    $ hack = renpy.input (" ",length = 10) or ("nic")

    ...

But ren'py is not satisfied with it
It tells me that ... name 'inp' is not defined.

You haven't defined inp before checking if it's 1 or 2. But anyway, renpy doesn't allow for changing styles with a variable like that mid-game.

You can use style preferences instead, although it's a bit more of a hassle. http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style.htm ... references

Thank you! I have learned from this more than I thought I would.

Two possible solutions, working with the screens (not tested, only some thoughts):

1. Create a new screen "input2", using more or less the same elements from "input" screen, with the desired styles/format, and call that using:

Code: Select all

call screen input2
answer = _return

2. Edit the original input screen, using "if inp ==1" for a style and "else" for the other.
