[SOLVED] Persistent Player Data

[4listair]

Is it possible to make a player name persistent? So, if you close the game, it would retain your name when you came back?

Going off of that, is it possible to put player names in the settings, rather than having it as a prompt within the script?

Thanks!

1. With this code the game will ask for the players name the first time a new game is started.
The following times new games are started the game will go directly to welcome (pname)

Code: Select all

default pname=""

    if not persistent.playername:
        $ pname= renpy.input("What is your name?")
        $ pname=pname.strip()
        $ persistent.playername = pname
        $ renpy.save_persistent()
    else:
        $ pname=persistent.playername

    "Welcome [pname]."

You might want to include a possibility to change the player name.

2. Yes you could add an input element to the settings screen - or another screen- and collect the input data for the player name from that.
