I started making a novel and learn renpy really recently, and I came across a difficulty that I couldn't find the solution. I put an input for the user to define the name of the protagonist, but when I declare the character, the color that I designated to appear in the text box is not working.
Here a piece of my code:
python:
sn = ""
define luca = Character(" Luca Kaneshiro", color="#ffffff")
define sn = Character("%(sn)s", color="#ffffff")
label start:
call askname
luca "Hey %(sn)s."
sn "Hi, Luca!"
label askname:
$ sn = renpy.input("What's my name?", length=32)
here's how the text in displayed
I was expecting it to be displayed in white color, but instead it was displayed in yellow, the collor that I defined for gui.accent_color. Is there any solution for that? A way to turn the text in the sn variable into a normal text or something like this?
According to Renpy's documentation on Character
, you need to attached a who_style
arguments, specifically who_color
in this case:
define sn = Character("%(sn)s", who_color="#ffffff")
Also, unrelated but renpy doc uses square bracket for string/text interpolation instead, so in case the above doesn't work, try the following:
define sn = Character("[sn]", who_color="#ffffff")
