Hello! So in renpy I made it where the player can insert their name in the story. Which I used as the string [player_name] but when I put "[player_name]" as the MC_Name it doesn"t use the phone send icon like it's supposed to just the phone received icon. As if it's another character in the game and not the main character. Why is this?
Viewing post in yet another phone for renpy comments
Hello! Yes Ren'Py doesn't replace variable between brackets everywhere, so that's why your example only work when the player input literally [player_name].
I don't have a way to test right now, but simply defining MC_Name = player_name rather than MC_Name = "[player_name]" should work. Let me know if it does! :)
