Side image with custom name?

[Kokoro Hane]

With renpy.input, you have a variable which will display the name the user types in (typically I use "pov" as the variable, since that was in the tutorial). However, if I want the MC's sideimage to appear as well in the textbox, how do you define that with a custom name input? I can do both separately, but could never figure out how to have a character side image and a custom input name. Thanks in advanced!

You can modify the choice screen to show a side image

Code: Select all

screen input:

    # If there's a side image, display it above the text.
    if my_side_image:
        
        window style "input_window":
            has vbox
            xpos 210

            text prompt style "input_prompt"
            input id "input" style "input_text"
        
        add my_side_image xalign 0.0 yalign 0.95
        
    else:
        window style "input_window":
            has vbox

            text prompt style "input_prompt"
            input id "input" style "input_text"
        
    use quick_menu


label start:
    
    $ my_side_image = None
    "..."
    $ x = renpy.input(prompt="???")
    "..."
    $ my_side_image = "side e"
    $ x = renpy.input(prompt="???")
    "..."

I'm having the same problem... I can't seem to get that code Alex posted to work in my favor.

To make it work you need to replace the default code for input screen in screens.rpy with code above.
