[Solved] Naming the Character Input Issue

[Katy133]

I'm trying to figure out how to let the player choose the characters name. I want to make it so that if the player inputs the name "Hero" OR "Hiro," it's changed to, say, Hana. If they pick "Moo" or "Jane," that results in other name changes.

I currently have as the code:

Code: Select all

label start:
    $ name = renpy.input("Her name was...", length=10)

    $ name = name.strip()

    #  If the player can't be bothered to choose a name, then we
    #  choose a suitable one for them:
    if name == "Hero" or "Hiro": #<--This bit is the issue.
        $ name="Hana"
        "Her name was [name]. "
        jump after_name
        
    elif name == "Moo":
        $ name="Moore"
        "Her name was [name]."
        jump after_name
        
    else name == "Jane":
        $ name="Jade"
        "Her name was [name]."
        jump after_name

However, when I tested this, if I input Moo or Jane or any name, I'll always get the "Hana" result. How do I write the "Hero or Hiro" section of the script so that it works properly?

I know that I can use multiple labels/jumps to remove the "or" in the script altogether, like this:

Code: Select all

label start:
    $ name = renpy.input("Her name was...", length=10)

    $ name = name.strip()

    #  If the player can't be bothered to choose a name, then we
    #  choose a suitable one for them:
    if name == "Hero":
        jump hana_name
  
    if name == "Hiro":
        jump hana_name
              
    label hana_name:
        $ name="Hana"
        "Her name was [name]."
        jump after_name

BUT, I don't want to do this, since I've got a database with many, many different names, making this way too complex to code in an organised way.

Any ideas?

if name == "Hiro" or name == "Hana"

if name == "Hiro" or name == "Hana"

Ah, yes! if name == "Hiro" or name == "Hana": works great! Thank you.
