you can edit the character's name using: $ girl1.name = "♥ Aiko"
an maybe few text tags for coloring

Use a variable reference as the name and change the variable, as seen here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=56009&p=514661#p514694

Another option, though more complicated, would be to edit the speech boxes, but that's only necessary if you have changeable names and want to use the variable contents in instances where the ♥ is not wanted.

for example,
if affection poin = 0, the name colour is black
if affection poin = 1, the name colour is blue
if affection poin = 2, the name colour is green
etc. owh sorry im really new here

The easiest way is to probably make multiple character definitions for each color (like if the character's name was sue, you could have sue1, sue2, and sue3) and then when it's time to show the dialog, have an if check on the value of the affection variable and pick the appropriate character. Something like

Code: Select all

$ sue1 = Character("Sue", color="#000000")
$ sue2 = Character("Sue", color="#0000FF")
$ sue3 = Character("Sue", color="#008000")

#check affection level
if affection == 0:
    sue1 "I don't like you."
elif affection == 1:
    sue2 "You're okay."
else:
    sue3 "I love you!"

basic, barebones idea anyway.

how can i replace name colour.

there are two main approaches, one by editing the character:

Code: Select all

$ girl.color = "#f00"

or by editing the say screen in the screens.rpy. this one requires a bit more knowledge about screens and styles.
