(SOLVED) Using an If Statement to Test Character Name Input?

[RoboKnight]

In the first lines of my game, I have the player name themself. Now, in the story, the player character is later revealed to be the reincarnation of King Arthur, so I want my narration to foreshadow a little if the player inputs "Arthur". This is the code I have so far (disregard the lack of scenery I excluded for simplicity):

Code: Select all

label start:

$ player_name = renpy.input("What is your name?")
    $if player_name == "Arthur":
        "Ah, so perhaps you remember..."

Now then I get: "Line is indented but the preceding one-line python statement does not expect a block"

So then I remove the one tab I had and I get: "unexpected EOF when parsing" (I don't know what an EOF is).

What am I doing wrong here?

Code: Select all

$ player_name = renpy.input("TEXT HERE")
    $ player_name = player_name.strip()

if player_name == "Victor":
    "TEXT."
elif player_name == "Riley":
    "SOME MORE TEXT."

The if statement would not be indented, like in the code above, I think. You would also need to include the player_name.strip()

Yeah I realized my problem lay within having the $ where it shouldn't be. Also, is there a way to include a method like ToUpper (this is what I know it's called in the Visual Basic language at least) so that it changes the character input to all uppercase letters and then test it with "ARTHUR"? This is because the font I use is all in uppercase.

EDIT: I found a way
