[SOLVED] Input character limit not working

[belphe]

Hi all,

Hope I can get some advice on this. I'm a newcomer to python coding, and I recently implemented being able to give their saves names in my current project.

It works fine with one exception - for some reason, the character limit I set is not being acknowledged, which will allow people to write straight off the window and give their save slots ridiculously long names. I've been all over the forums hoping to find a solution, but no dice.

Here's the code I'm using -

screen modal_input:
modal True
window at truecenter:
xmaximum 600
ymaximum 200
ypadding .5
xpadding .013
ypos 0.4
background("gui/saveinfoscreen.png")


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

label get_save_name:
show screen save
$ save_name = renpy.call_screen("modal_input", prompt="Enter save information", default=save_name, length=25)
$ renpy.retain_after_load()
return

Any help with this issue would be appreciated!

try putting the length restriction in the line for the input instead

try putting the length restriction in the line for the input instead

That worked! Thanks so much. I'd tried it before and gotten an error, but didn't think to take the "=" out. I appreciate you taking the time to help a novice :3
