hey! idk if this blog is new or inactive, but the very few posts on here are really helpful! i have a question - how do i let the player type things (like a name) in? ive tried so many things but i keep getting error messages.
Hi! It’s been kinda inactive but It’s still around, and while renpy hasn’t been my main focus lately in my projects, (just been doing other things), I certainly can give helping you a try with this! I guess first off, what have you tried and recieved an error with? The cookbook wiki gives you this. To work with it is pretty much straightforward with that code. Just pasting it where you want it to go, and then you can have people call them by the name.
Generally, it is possible to put more than a name in, too! I tested this very quickly, though beware of possible errors, but it gives you a general idea. This can also be used if you have to name the character a certain thing to proceed or get a secret.
Sorry if this isn’t detailed enough or confusing! I actually have a headcold and may not make that much sense however, if you have any errors or further questions please ask! I’m here to make tutorials and to troubleshoot.
If you did all this and that’s how you got the error, though, can I see your crash log and or the error you’re getting? It may point me in the right direction.
