    When an NPC asks the Protagonist a certain question, instead of answering it with choices, is there a way to show the screen that normally pops up for naming your character or Pokémon to come up and then you can input the answer that way. Is there a way to do this? An example of using this screen without naming something is like when you have to tell the reporters in Pokémon games a random word, then they'll show it on TV; the Mystery Gift is another example.

    You can use the same thing that the name entry uses.

    pbEnterText(helptext,0,10)

    How do I make sure certain things happen depending on what the player puts into the box?

    Depends on what you want to happen

    Code: 
    playerinput=pbEnterText(helptext,0,10)
if playerinput=="Text you want"
#do thing here
elsif playerinput=="Other text you want"
#do other thing here
else
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("I'm afraid I can't do that {1}",$Trainer.name))
end

    1. You can create a new method for it.
    2. Yes, it could easily be repeated.

    Example of 1:
    Code: 
    def pbProcessPlayerInput
  playerinput=pbEnterText(helptext,0,10)
  if playerinput=="Text you want"
    #do thing here
  elsif playerinput=="Other text you want"
    #do other thing here
  else
    Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("I'm afraid I can't do that {1}",$Trainer.name))
  end
end

    Add it into the actual scripts, not an event command. This is a method, so it's not going to be able to interpret it as a command. You could make a new section for it.

    What? Of course you can put this code in an event command (the Script one, obviously).

    The error was caused because helptext should be some text (i.e. "be in between quote marks"). Just try pbEnterText("helptext",1,20) and see where that gets you, and go from there.

    Yeah, you didn't correct this:

    Code: 
    playerinput=pbEnterText(Passwort eingeben,0,10)

    You have to add this:

    Code: 
    playerinput=pbEnterText([COLOR="Red"]"[/COLOR]Passwort eingeben[COLOR="Red"]"[/COLOR],0,10)

    I change it but nothing happens anyways. I use the pbEnterText("Passwort eingeben",0,10)
    as Script on an "PC". I can tip in my Password but nothing happens again. Can u show me an example "script" for it?

    Try this:

    Code: 
    pbAddPokemon(:DARKRAI,25)

    I don't think that it's the problem, but i don't know.

    Post your exact code (including line breaks) here or, better, print screen here.

    Oh yes, the text is case and space sensitive, you must have the exact match. Before adding the pokémon, try the command 'p "1"' for testing if the text check is working.
