User Input

Let players type their own text (like a character name) and store it in an Ink variable.

Basic Usage

VAR player_name = ""

# USER_INPUT: player_name "Enter your name"

Aliases: # INPUT:, # PROMPT:, # TEXT_INPUT:

This displays a text field. When the player submits (by pressing Enter or clicking Submit), their input is stored in player_name.

You can then use it anywhere as a regular variable:

Hello, {player_name}! Welcome to the adventure.

Without Placeholder

If you omit the placeholder text, it defaults to “Type your answer here…”:

# USER_INPUT: player_name

Tips

• The variable must be declared (VAR) before using USER_INPUT.
• Input is stored as a string. Use {player_name} to display it.
• Maximum input length is 100 characters.
• The input field auto-focuses when it appears.
