[solved] text user input to riddle with multiple answers

[Daseril]

I have a riddle in my game that has two possible answers, and it doesn't make sense to do a multiple choice menu cause then its too easy. But I can't figure out how to have the user put in the text input and then renpy checks for the two possible answers. If they get it right they proceed to the next part of the game, and if they get it wrong they get to try again until they get it right.

Code: Select all

label riddle:
                      $ answer = renpy.input ()
                      if answer == "poison", "coffin":
                          door "acceptable, you may pass"
                          jump party
                      else:
                          door "Incorrect"
                          jump riddle

and here is the exception I get when I get to that part of the game and it crashes.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 144, in script
    $ answer = renpy.input ()
  File "game/script.rpy", line 144, in <module>
    $ answer = renpy.input ()
TypeError: input() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)

I feel like I am missing something big...

from what I understand and anyone correct as I'm no expert here, you need something in those brackets after renpy.input

So maybe just changing that one line to this would help?

Code: Select all

label riddle:
                      $ answer = renpy.input ("What is the answer?") #Prompt for user

oh wow yeah, that was it. all I needed to do was put something in the brackets there! lol I rewrote this one code block like 4 different ways and it was as simple as that. thank you!
