rentry

you can only have one active input per screen in renpy.

rentry is designed to break that limit (well, not exactly, it cheats; it only generates those inputs automatically).

to start with, put rentry.rpy in your game directory.

for example, if you have some class defined like this:

init python:
  class Foo:
    def __init__(self):
      self.name = ""
      self.desc = ""
      self.hidden = ""
  foo = Foo()

you might only want to update foo's name and desc fields, so define the keys for Foo instances:

define foo_keys = ["name", "desc"]

then call it in a screen like this:

textbutton "edit_foo" action Show("dict_input", keys=foo_keys, obj=foo)

where the obj parameter is the object you want to update.
