Okay this is kinda complicated.

How do I do the default name thing if the reader doesn’t want to type in a name? Like I already have a name but give them an option to change it or not? I tried with choices but name input isn’t allowed in a choice.

I’m not too sure either, but I feel like it’s alright for you to have them keep the original name without changing it. Maybe you can incorporate the original name in some dialouge/jokes so that it makes more sense to keep it.

Oh ok. But in my story, I need them to pick an alias is why :thinking:

Oooh, I see. Maybe instead of having them type in the names by themselves you can give them a list of names to choose from?

If the input isn’t allowed in the choice, I’d do something like this

NARRATOR
The main character’s name is Patricia, would you like to change it?
choice
“Yes”{

goto ChooseName
}
“No”{

goto ContinueStory
}
label ChooseName
(INSET THE NAME INPUT SCRIPT HERE
Are you happy with the name [NAME]?
choice
“Yes”{

goto ContinueStory
}
“No”{

goto ChooseName
}
label ContinueStory
