Integers with VariableInputValue in Screens

[HiddenLife]

Hi everyone.
I'm trying to get the age of a character modified by the user with an input in a screen.

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

screen E_age:
    input default "[Eage]":
        pixel_width(500)
        value VariableInputValue("Eage")

I want that the variable Eage to change according to what the user type. I know this code would work if I'm working with strings, but, with integers, it wont work.
Somebody please can help me?

There are two possibilities:
1) Let input variable be string and convert to int afterwards.
2) Create your own InputValue subclass and do conversion on the fly.

I have absolutely NO idea how to do that.

Following guide on https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_p ... InputValue
it will look somethiong like:

Code: Select all

# does not do error checking, restrict input to digits only
# Does not support non-default stores
class IntegerInputValue(InputValue):
    def __init__(self, var):
        self.var = var
        self.default = True

    def get_text(self):
        return str( getattr(store, var) )

    def set_text(self, text):
        setattr(store, var, int(text))

    def enter(self):
        return getattr(store, var)

# . . .
input value VariableInputValue("Eage") allow "0123456789"

It should work, unless I made a typo somewhere.
