Custom Name error

[Sugar_and_rice]

I'm really frustrated. I've looked through forums, youtube, websites, tutorials, everything to find an answer but I have yet to find one. Whenever I try to type in code to let the player choose their own name, i always get this error: AttributeError 'StoreModule' object has no attribute 'dialogue_xalign'
I've copied and pasted other people's codes that work for them, but it still gives me that error. Here's an example of what I've typed in:

Code: Select all

# Declare characters used by this game.
define e = Character('Eileen', color="#c8ffc8")
define n = Character('[name]', color="#c8ffc8")

# The game starts here.
label start:

    $ name = renpy.input("What is your name?")
    $ name = name.strip()
    
    if name == "":
        $ name="You"
  
    "Pleased to meet you, [name]!"
    
    n "This is a test. You are talking."

    return

Please help

Here's an idea for you. Try to define character "n" after your if statement but before the "pleased to meet you" line.

So do this:

$ n = Character("[name]", color="#c8ffc8")

[Sugar_and_rice]

thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately it still didn't work I'm thinking something is wrong with the actual program... maybe I should try an re-install it?

[SuperbowserX]

That's bizzare. Can you post the full traceback/error report?

[Sugar_and_rice]

here's the full thing:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Have you changed any of your screens files (the ones that come with Ren'py)? Check their date modified value.

[IrinaLazareva]

Yep. It is a bug. In GUI. In Only new version....
in 6.11 (and in 6.12.3 Legacy Theme) works fine.

[Sugar_and_rice]

oh it's a bug?? that sucks... is there any way I can download a 6.11? or should I just re-install the new version again?

[gas]

Aaaargh....

Cause the dynamic characters work like this:

define e=Character("name", dynamic=True)

Remove those [ ] stuff, you're not interpolating a text XD.

[Sugar_and_rice]

I'm sorry I'm a little confused... so I just remove all the brackets? It still doesn't work

[gas]

It's impossible, I'm using the exact code in this very moment.

Try this

default name="Try"
define e=Character("name", dynamic=True)

I'm running a game the next window with this code.

And somewhere you've tried to define something as "dialogue_xalign"???

[Sugar_and_rice]

so like this? or no brackets around the other name too?

Code: Select all

define e = Character("name", dynamic=True)

label start:

    $ name = renpy.input("What is your name?")
    $ name = name.strip()
    
    if name == "":
        $ name="You"
  
    "Pleased to meet you, [name]!"
    
    e "This is a test. You are talking."

    return

and I have no idea what it means when it says dialogue_xalign... i've never typed that anywhere...

[IrinaLazareva]

It's impossible, I'm using the exact code in this very moment.

Problem in input, not Character

For example, this code doesn't work (only in GUI).

Code: Select all

default nam = "Vasya" 
label start:
    $ nam = renpy.input("Enter")
    "Ok [nam]"

AttributeError: 'StoreModule' object has no attribute 'dialogue_xalign'

Well, You can try Legacy Theme Interface (it is required to create new project).
