[Solved] Make it so you can't put a space when writing your name.

[simba975]

I'm using this for the player to write their name:

Code: Select all

screen name_screen():
    window:
        text "What's your name?" xalign 0.5 yalign 0.1
        input default "" xalign 0.5 yalign 0.25 length 10

Code: Select all

    label yourName:
        scene
        show black onlayer bg

        call screen name_screen with dissolve
        $ player_name = _return
        $ player_name = player_name.strip()
        $ player_name = player_name.lower()
        $ player_name = player_name.title()

This works well, however, when the player just presses space they are able to just have an empty name. How can I prevent players from entering the name after just spaces?

You can limit the characters allowed in input using the allow keyword. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/input.html

How can I prevent players from entering the name after just spaces?

Just test if the player entered a valid name (and not an empty string).

Code: Select all

label yourName:
    scene
    show black onlayer bg
    call screen name_screen with dissolve
    $ player_name = _return
    $ player_name = player_name.strip()
    $ player_name = player_name.lower()
    $ player_name = player_name.title()
    if not player_name:
        "Please enter a valid name!"
        jump yourName
    jump elsewhere
