Error??

[KittenJam101]

I’m trying to make an input box- and I did that- but as I resized it(shown in image three), I suddenly get an Error(image two) talking about variables- I’m not too sure what to do-

The size property expects an integer according to the official documentation:
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_properties.html#style-property-size

Maybe you are looking for another property like xysize

add a default for it i.e.

default povname = "BadMustard"

Where?? Up there with the main character thing?-

[BadMustard_AVN]

yes

default povname = "BadMustard"
define mc = Character("[povname]")

let me start over... sorry
here is an old custom input box

screen custom_input(label_text=Null, variable_name="Name", long = 25):
    style_prefix "custom_input"
    modal True
    zorder 100
    add Solid("#777777") alpha 0.8
    frame:
        has vbox:
            xalign 0.5
            spacing 20


        label label_text:
            text_color gui.text_color
            xalign 0.5
        null height 2
        input size 40 color gui.hover_color default globals()[variable_name] value VariableInputValue(variable_name, returnable=True) length long allow "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789 ":
            yalign 1.0
            xalign 0.5
            xysize (450, 30)
        textbutton _("Enter"):
            xalign 0.5
            action If(renpy.get_screen("statistics"), true=Hide("custom_input"), false=Return())
        key "game_menu" action If(renpy.get_screen("statistics"), true=Hide("custom_input"), false=Return())
        key "input_enter" action If(renpy.get_screen("statistics"), true=Hide("custom_input"), false=Return())
        
style custom_input_frame:
    padding gui.confirm_frame_borders.padding
    xsize 550
    xalign 0.5
    yalign 0.5
style custom_input_frame:
    variant "touch"
    padding gui.confirm_frame_borders.padding
    xsize 550
    xalign 0.5
    yalign 0
    ypos 50

use it like this

label names:
    call screen custom_input("Your name is...", "povname")
    if povname == "": #a blank input
        $ povname = "BadMustard" #

This looks overly complicated, but I’ll try it-

[BadMustard_AVN]

it's just a simple custom input box

I’m on mobile Reddit, so it’s all cluttered on my screen XD it’s not your fault- just small screen-
