[Solved] How do you change the name input screen

[xMichi]

Hello, I've added this code to my game:

Code: Select all

label start:
    
    
    $ name = renpy.input(_("###"),length=##) or _("###")
    $ name = name.strip()

And of course it works fine, but I'd like to make a screen out of it that looks different and where you can input the text in the center.

Something like (x), (x) or (x)

My plan was using an imagemap for it, but aside from making the picture, I have no idea on how to go about it. I'm guessing I need to make a screen for it?

I'm also unsure if it's something easy to fix or if it requires a high knowledge of code.

I hope someone can help?

Check input screen is screens.rpy. It is used to actually display input promt. You would need to include input id "input" displayable to make it work with renpy.input.

Code: Select all

screen input(prompt):

    window style "input_window":
        has vbox

        text prompt style "input_prompt"
        input id "input" style "input_text" 

This part of the code is already being displayed. The screen does appear but I want to use an image map for it and was wondering how to go about doing that since I really have no idea.
Instead of the standard input screen, I want it to look different like examples above and then with using an imagemap.

I understand I need hotspots in that case but... I have no idea how to go about it.

What is the problem exactly? You have a screen. You can do anything to it, add everything you like, completely rework it. You just need to keep input part, because it wouldn't be an input screen without a way to input text, right?

The problem is that I don't know how to go about it. So I'm wondering if someone has a tip on how to do it or where to look to find more information. I tried looking it up, but I don't have much knowledge on it yet so I'm wondering if someone can help.
The thing is that I'd like to use an imagemap.

The specific thing I'm struggling with the most is how to make it so that I can input the text in another place (like in the middle of the screen).

If you want to put it at the center of the screen, just add at truecenter in your input screen's window. Or you can put it wherever you want; just search renpy's documentation about screen and the positional properties. You could also add a background image for this window. Perhaps something like this :

Code: Select all

screen input(prompt):
    window at truecenter:    # --> you can change your input screen's window's position here
        xmaximum 500
        background Solid("#123")  # --> You can change the solid color background with your own image
        vbox:
            xalign 0.5
            yalign 0.5
            text prompt style "input_prompt"
            input id "input"

Ohh, thank you so much! This really helped me out. I know where to look now and I think I fixed something. Thank you : )
