So I am currently trying to make a new screen to pop up when the player gets the prompt to type in there own name. I am still new to coding so this may be an easy fix but I just cant get it to stop giving me errors. I fix the "unexpected statement" issue but then it says "expected statement". Then there's the "end of line expected error". What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated!
There are a lot of errors in here. If you're not very familiar with the screen language, i suggest watching some tutorials first about `renpy screens` on youtube or referring to the documentation: https://www.renpy.org/dev-doc/html/screens.html
this is fairly easy to do, and very common, you can either call or show the custom screen or use the built-in function `renpy.input`, the easiest way would be using the built-in function but if you want more control with the screen then calling it would be what you're looking for.
