call phone_start
call message_start("[player_name]", "Hey, Mom and I are going out to eat.  Wanna come?")
call reply_message("[sister_name]", "Sure,  can we eat at Dad's favorite place?")
# this one is the same as the above one, but instead it has one more place for you to set an image
# you have to make the image be small enough to fit the screen or its gonna stretch weird!
call messa

How do you make the reply messages show who sent them, I got the outgoing message(it is in the script), but I run into this each time I put the [sister_name]:

How is your message_start and reply_message labels are defined?

You said labels right:

Code: Select all

label phone_start:
    window hide
    show phone at phone_pickup
    $ renpy.pause(0.2)
    return
    
label phone_msg:
    $ renpy.pause()
    hide screen phone_message
    $ renpy.pause(0.1)
    return
        
label phone_msg2:
    $ renpy.pause()
    hide screen phone_message2
    $ renpy.pause(0.1)
    return
        
label phone_msgi:
    $ renpy.pause()
    hide screen phone_message_image
    $ renpy.pause(0.1)

######### phone code ends here ##########

Your reply_message label accepts only one argument. You are trying to pass two. Hence the error.

[DragonKnight]

You couldn't tell by my constant erasure marks I didn't think of that already. When I put two argument:

Code: Select all

label reply_message(who, what):
    $ renpy.pause()
    hide screen phone_message
    hide screen phone_message2
    hide screen phone_message3
    hide screen phone_message_image
    $ renpy.pause(0.1)
    show screen phone_message3(who, what)
    return

My reply message didn't show up, it went on to the next message.

[Ocelot]

THat would be another problem. Problem in OP post is clear: you are calling something intended to call with one argument wit two. Either call it with only one, or change label to accept two arguments.

With your screen proble it is not clear: is it screen which fails to show, or is it message that fails to appear, or is it something else? Also notice that reply screen accepts a single argument too. You need to fix that. Either by calling it with only one argument or modifying screen to accept both.

[DragonKnight]

I figured it out(solved)

[PREZ]

Congrats!
Could you post the final solution?

[DragonKnight]

Solution:
Download the phone template from renpy cookbook, and go to the screen.rpy and change screen_message3(what) into (who, what): and go down into vbox into:
vbox:
style "phone_message_contents"
##text who style "phone_message_who"
text what style "phone_message_what"
into
vbox:
style "phone_message_contents"
text who style "phone_message_who"
text what style "phone_message_what"
And that's it.
