Certain name reactions??

[LazyLycanthrope]

Uh, I need help on how to make a certain name have different kinds of outcomes like, if the MC's name is Violet, then the name colour turns purple??
And I need a way to have a character react to a certain name? Because I've been trying to put 'if name' and all that stuff but nothing has been working :/

Code: Select all

default mc_name = "Violet"
default name_color = "#FFF"
define mc = Character("[mc_name]", who_color=name_color)

label start:
    if mc_name == "Violet":
        $ name_color = "8300FF"
        "Your name is [mc_name]. That's like the color purple right?"
    else:
        "It's nice to meet you [mc_name]."

I haven't tested the name_color, but it should work for you.

I tried it out, but it didn't seem to work.

Should be who_color not color. If you want to change the color of the text, that would be what_color.
Also, if that doesn't work, post your code.

Code: Select all

default name = "Wyvern"
default name_color = "#585858"
define mc = Character("[name]", color="who_color")

I actually have Wyvern as the default name, but I just need certain reactions to certain names the player uses.
It keeps saying that "who_color" is invalid.

Try:

Code: Select all

default name = "Wyvern"
default name_color = "#585858"
define mc = Character(name, who_color=name_color)

name and name_color are variables (containers for data). Anything inside " " is data (string data, to be exact). So if you write "name", the computer understands exactly that - "name". If you write name without " ", the computer understands whatever the content of the variable name is.

Okay, I've tried out the code, but it seems to have said 'invalid syntax' ?

[Milkymalk]

Are you sure the 'invalid syntax' is in these lines? What does the error message say?

[wyverngem]

Can you post the full error log please? I was a little tired when I replied sorry. @trooper6 This is the error I get when I have the code as this:

Code: Select all

init: 
    $ nameColor = "#FFFFFF"
default mc_name = "Violet"

define v = Character("[mc_name]", who_color=nameColor)

label start:
    v "I I work"
    if mc_name == "Violet":
        $ name_color = "#8300F"
        v"Your name is [mc_name]. That's like the color purple right?"
    else:
        v "It's nice to meet you [mc_name]."

Silly me this code works fine with the right number of hex digit colors. The only issues is that I'm seeing the same thing. No error, but it doesn't change the color.

If it's written like this the error goes like this:

Code: Select all

default nameColor = "#FFFFF"
default mc_name = "Violet"

define v = Character("[mc_name]", who_color=nameColor)

label start:
    v "I I work"
    if mc_name == "Violet":
        $ name_color = "#8300F"
        v"Your name is [mc_name]. That's like the color purple right?"
    else:
        v "It's nice to meet you [mc_name]."

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

    define v = Character("[mc_name]", who_color=nameColor)

    define v = Character("[mc_name]", who_color=nameColor)
NameError: name 'nameColor' is not defined

I really thought you could change it based on the name.

That last error shows that the code is referring to an undefined variable "name".
In the code that has been posted, the variables are all called mc_name. Try changing the "name" variable in line 37 to mc_name and see if it works.

I tried changing those, but it didn't seem to be the problem?

Could you PM me your code? I'll have a look through it.

Is this by chance inside a python block? You only need a $ in front of a line of code if it's outside of a python block and it's not a renpy script keyword.

Yeah, it is, but I removed the $ and it still showed up with an error
