Including a notebook with player input [solved]

[lacticacid]

Hi! I'd like my game to have a notebook screen in which the player can type out notes for later use. How should I go about it?

Hello! There's probably a better way to do it.
But whenever I need to do something like this I use renpy.imput.

For example.
You create the label and in "scene" you use an image of a notebook as background.

Code: Select all

label notebook:
    scene notebook

    while chooseaname == "":
        $ chooseaname = renpy.input("Type Your Text").strip()

Or:

Code: Select all

    while chooseaname == "":
        $ chooseaname = renpy.input("").strip()

You can name this "chooseaname" anything you want. Like "Text1", etc.
This "renpy.imput" code will allow the player to type a text.
Whatever they type will be saved as "chooseaname" (or the name you choose ).

Then for you to show this text you can create a screen.
Like this:

Code: Select all

screen notebooktext1:
    text "{color=#00ffff} [choosename] {/color}" size 35 xalign 0.5 ypos 150

You don't need to change the text color or anything. I just gave an example.
In "size" you can change the text size. You can also the choose position you want it to be in the screen, etc.
You can customize it all in your way.

Now to show it, you use "show screen" in the label you want it to show up:

Code: Select all

label text1:
    scene notebook
    show screen notebooktext1

Once the player type something on "choosename", their text will always show up when you use it.

So if you need to "erase" it, do this:

Code: Select all

    $ choosename=""

That's it. I'm not an expert, but it has worked for me

Thank you Nanahs! looking this for a month.
