renpy input outside of the textbox

[Dr_arell]

ok here's the thing, a while ago i copied some code to move the text input out of the text box, but this moved the input outside in general when i just wanted to move it out for a one time use only.

i'm not that familiar with the text input so i cant fix it for myself.

Code: Select all

label cheats_input:
    hide screen telefono
    $ cheat = renpy.call_screen("input", prompt="      Enter cheat code", someText = "Something")
    hide phone
    if cheat == "hola":
        show phone

    while True:
        $ result = ui.interact()


screen input(prompt, someText = ""):
    viewport id "example":
        draggable False
        yanchor -145
        xanchor -790
        xmaximum 410
        ymaximum 790

        vbox:
            text prompt xalign 0.5
            spacing 690
            xmaximum 410
            input id "input" #style "input_text" default someText

A lot of this looks outdated, are you wanting a screen to show whenever a player types "hola", presumably without letting the user see an input box?

The H key already has a binding to "hide" the interface, so you'd have to edit that.

Have you seen this? It's not the same method, but I think it should achieve what you're after.

It's the old wiki, but unfortunately there is no modern equivalent in the new wiki, however the code works the same way.

i got this set up for a screen in a phone, and the the if statements its just a filler, i will use that to activate cheat codes.

the problem is aesthetic
i took 3 quick screenshots so u understand what i mean.

1 is how it looks when i try to call the input normally
2 the textbox that should display the input, as default
3 the input was moved to fit there, but as i said it

if you are curious this is how im displaying the input in the first image

Code: Select all

 $ ply = renpy.input("What's my name")

    ]$ ply = ply.strip()

    if ply == "":
        $ ply="Xavi"

and for the 3rd image im using the code posted above, i deleted meaningless things to not get confused

Code: Select all

label cheats_input:
    $ cheat = renpy.call_screen("input", prompt="      Enter cheat code", someText = "Something")

    while True:
        $ result = ui.interact()


screen input(prompt, someText = ""):
    viewport id "example":
        draggable False
        yanchor -145
        xanchor -790
        xmaximum 410
        ymaximum 790

        vbox:
            text prompt xalign 0.5
            spacing 690
            xmaximum 410
            input id "input" #style "input_text" default someText

it seems like the name of the screen was the problem, maybe sharing "input" as name caused some trouble
