first name, last name submit box at same time

[plushi]

i am very new to python and it is a miracle that i got this far without asking for help.
how the heck do i put two screen input submit boxes simultaneously?

for example, i want the first name and last name submit box to appear at the same time. i have it where they show up one at a time. i want them next to each other.
*BONUS,, how do i remove the text box for this part as weLL bc "hide window" doesnt work*

renpy.rpy

Code: Select all

    $ first_name = renpy.input("","Jamie", length=10)or _("Jamie")
    $ lastName = renpy.input("","Williams", length=10)or _("Williams")

screens.rpy

Code: Select all

screen input(prompt):

    window style "input_window":
        has vbox xalign 0.34 yalign -2.1

        text prompt style "input_prompt"
        input id "input" style "input_text" color "#000"

    use quick_menu

If you are very new at Python, I heartily recommend taking the Python beginner's course as codeacademy.com

The post SinnyROM linked to is the answer to your question.

i spent hours on this code. i looked at it, i added it in, i messed with it, googled for more help, i'm stumped, i guess i'll just leave it how it is :(

Have you tried just the code they provided in a new game to see if it works and does show both input boxes?

I took a closer look at the thread, and it does mention you need to fill in a few holes, like how to submit and move on:

It's up to you how you continue from the text input, but it's tested and works.

That can be fixed by adding a button to the screen name_input() that jumps to another label (or returns if you called the screen).

So if you call the screen like this:

Code: Select all

label start:
    "Enter your name"
    call screen name_input
    "Your name is [firstname] [lastname]"

Add this to the screen:

Code: Select all

    textbutton "Done" action Return()

If you get any errors, please post the complete traceback so it's easier for others to help troubleshoot the issue.

Even though the Python functionality is complete in this cookbook and there's no need to do any more on it, I agree with trooper6 and would recommend the Codecademy course on Python: it's interactive and teaches a lot of invaluable information on Python.
