I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/script.rpy", line 61: is not terminated with a newline. (Check strings and parenthesis.)
(Perhaps you left out a ' at the end of the first line.)

Code: Select all

## remove leading/trailing spaces, turn AbCdEf intro abcdef
$user_input=user_input.lower().strip()
## check known words
if user_input in ['hello!','hi!','hello','hi']:
  m 'Hello!'

You may get better results if you use/write actual parser for such things.

Try changing:

Code: Select all

if user_input == (['hello','Hello','hello!','Hello!]):

to

Code: Select all

if user_input == (['hello','Hello','hello!','Hello!']):

You are missing a ' at the end of the last entry.

Okay, i know this works, and get no error, but everytime i type 4 kinds of words as i wrote above, it wont show the

Code: Select all

m "Hello!"

when i type those.. every single one. Instead it will ignore it and then continue.. sorry for my bad english, is there any way to fix this?

i also used this to type different types of words and letters to reply the character.

Code: Select all

$ user_input = renpy.input(prompt = "Type anything! Or if you want to go places, like for example, 'Lets go to music room.'. (SCHOOL PLACES ONLY!)", allow="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ /.,'?!")

This works for me. Type 'HEllO', bot should greet you.

Code: Select all

label start:
  $user_input = renpy.input(prompt = "Type anything! Or if you want to go places, like for example, 'Lets go to music room.'. (SCHOOL PLACES ONLY!)", allow="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ /.,'?!")
  $user_input=user_input.lower().strip()
  if user_input in ['hello','hello!','hi','hi!']:
    'Bot' 'Greetings, Master.'
  'Bot' 'What would you like today?'
  return

Tho again this approach is very limited and buggy, this is why parser-based and general text input games pretty much died out decades ago.

Thank you for the reply! I will try this if i had a chance. (oops, need to fix that indention line.)
I just need to reply once more if i had a another problem.

If you want to build an interactive fiction game like back in the 80s, you might want to look into using one of the languages built specifically for that. It might be easier for you because they should have a parser already built in.
