Input player name [SOLVED]

[Ladythief1997]

So Ive set this code in from the renpy tutorial webpage

Code: Select all

label start:
renpy.input(prompt, default='Lihana', allow=None, exclude='{None}', length=None, with_none=None, pixel_width=None)

    scene bg school

And I get this

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/script.rpy", line 22: expected statement.
    renpy.input(prompt, default='Lihana', allow=None, exclude='{None}', length=None, with_none=None, pixel_width=None)
                                                                                                                      ^

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.7.858

Any suggestions? Anyone at all.

Example from the tutorial

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]!"

You set a variable to equal renpy.input (in this case, povname). Then you can use that name in a string "My name is [povname]!" or as the name of your character define pov = Character("[povname]") with the square brackets []

Hope that helps.

That didnt work either

Create a brand new project with nothing in it at all.
Put this code in it exactly as I have typed it:

Code: Select all

define pov = Character("[povname]")

default povname = "Pat Smith"

label start:
    $ povname = renpy.input("What is your name?")
    $ povname = povname.strip()

    if not povname:
         $povname = "Pat Smith"

pov "My name is [povname]!"

return

Run that code.

By the way, have you read the Renpy QuickStart in the Documentation? If you haven't, you should.

How about trying this code for a user-input names?:

First, define the character.
Code:
define e = Character("[name]")


second, copy this code.
Code:
# The game starts here.
label start:
    $ name = renpy.input("What's your name?")
    $ name = name.strip()
    e"Hello! I'm [name]!"
    return


~Make sure to copy these!
Code:
$ name = renpy.input("What's your name?")
    $ name = name.strip()


I used this code for test projects, etc. I used this code because it's easier to type.

-Anyways, I hope it helps!

Thanks trooper6! Your help is always glad to read.

I try to be helpful within the constraints of what sorts of coding suggestions are allowed.

This one has worked for me as a glove, thanks a lot, it solved a minor problem but that is awesome.
