Custom Save Names

[InfamousGuy]

Hello!

I am relatively new to Renpy so lately I've been trying to learn as much as I can. However, one thing that has continued to bother me is the fact that I am unable to figure out how to make a text box display whenever the user clicks on a save slot, display "Enter save name: ", and then save it as the save name.

I've already figured out the basics of having a hbox display in the actual save screen and saving it that way, but I've always found the other method more appealing.

I'd really appreciate any help that anyone could offer, thanks!

What steps did you already implement ?

• do a custom action when user clicks on a save slot?
• display an input to ask the user a save name ?
• alter the name of the save slot whith the string the user provides?
• do a custom save

Frankly, I dont know Ren'py well enough to answer you fully, but this is how I'd split the feature you want to implement into small doable tasks.

For second step, I'd use renpy.input ; for the third step, these functions (renpy.save, save_name) seem to be able to do the job ...
