Name display error

[seafoamsky]

I am trying to add an option to choose your name and then display it in the sample text in a brand new project. But for some reason, I get this error:

File "game/script.rpy", line 35: invalid syntax

I followed the tutorial on the documentation and ended up with this:

Code: Select all

python:
    mcname = renpy.input("What is your name?")
    mcname = mcname.strip()
    if not mcname:
        mcname = "Hitoshi"

    # These display lines of dialogue.

    e "You've created a new Ren'Py game, [mcname]."

    e "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"

Can someone help? I'm relatively new, so I may have just made a silly mistake.

This is indentation error

Code: Select all

label start:
    python:
        mcname = renpy.input("What is your name?")
        mcname = mcname.strip()
        if not mcname:
            mcname = "Hitoshi"
            
    # These display lines of dialogue.
    
    e "You've created a new Ren'Py game, [mcname]."
    e "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"

by the way, the code can be optimized:

Code: Select all

label start:            
    $ mcname = renpy.input("What is your name?").strip() or "Hitoshi"
    
    e "You've created a new Ren'Py game, [mcname]."
    e "Once you add a story, pictures, and music, you can release it to the world!"

It works just fine now. Thank you!
