[Solved] How to get the name of the player in the dialog box?

[Trafagal]

Hi,

So in my game I allow the player to input the name of his using the code below:

Code: Select all

    # This starts the input for the player's name.
    $ name = renpy.input("What is your name?")
    $ name = name.strip()
    
    if name == "":
       $ name="Jonathan"
  
    "You can create anything in this world. Pleased to meet you, [name]!"
    # This ends the input of player's name.

So let's say I key in "Jack", as long as there is [name]. The name will appear.

But how do I get the name appear in the name of the dialog box?

Code: Select all

define pov = Character("[povname]")

python:
    povname = renpy.input("What is your name?")
    povname = povname.strip()

    if not povname:
         povname = "Pat Smith"

pov "My name is [povname]!"

Code: Select all

define pov = Character("[povname]")

python:
    povname = renpy.input("What is your name?")
    povname = povname.strip()

    if not povname:
         povname = "Pat Smith"

pov "My name is [povname]!"

Thank you iDweadith! Do i put this in scrypt.renpy itself?

[iDweadith]

Yes, in script.rpy like this

Code: Select all

define pov = Character("[povname]")

label start:

    python:
        povname = renpy.input("What is your name?")
        povname = povname.strip()

        if not povname:
             povname = "Pat Smith"

    pov "My name is [povname]!"

Thanks! It works, I realize I just need to add the define statement.

define name = Character("[name]")

Thank you so much!
