Help with Letting Readers Pick Their Name

[rae_rae_13]

For some reason, every time that I put in the script to let the reader change their name it does not work! It goes straight to the customization when it’s supposed to have the reader pick their name first. I changed the display name to NAME, but it still does no work. Help!

Have you tried adding a narration bubble before the input?

Like…

NARR
What is your name?
input What’s your first name? | What’s your first name? | Done (NAME)

Thank you, that actually worked! I’m new to the story process so I was confused

Don’t worry about it! Coding is pretty tricky haha

You know what you should do? Change display name from NAME back to AVA and then write:

NARR
What is your name?

input What’s your first name? | What’s your first name? | Done (AVA)

So instead of writing name each time like [NAME] you’d use [AVA] and whatever the reader typed in as their name will show up. It’s just more fun this way. UNDERSTANDING: Script + Display Names

Also test this code on the app, not on the web previewer. On web previewer, code doesn’t work in that the box doesn’t pop up.
