Make character's say player's name

linoone

Sorry for asking so many questions. Hopefully this will be my last one for a while.

How do I make a character in my game call the player by the name they input at the beginning?

I've used the very simple (Prompt: "What is your name?") for the beginning and, while it works, I don't know how to have the game remember the name you input.

Please help?

This is how its done in harlowe. You save the name as a variable with

(put: (prompt: "prompt text") into $variable)

and then simply write

$variable

where you want the name to be.

You need to state which Story Format you are using when you ask a question, as answers can be different for each one. Based on the syntax of your example I am going to assume you are using Harlowe.

The example given in the (prompt:) macro's documentation shows how to save the value inputed by the Reader into a $name variable.
You can later display the value within the $name variable in a passage by doing either of the following:

name: (print: $name)

or

name: $name
