Code:
    Name
        icon='button.dmi'
        density=1
        Click()
            name=input("Please create a name for your character. (Remember this is an RP game!! So Name your character what you would name your child!!)") as text
            if(name=="")
                return
            usr.name=html_encode(name)


Problem description:
No matter what I do to this piece of coding, or anyone similar to it, it does not seem to want to work. Anybody have any ideas on why? Does something look wrong? Thanks in advance!

Most likely you've overridden client/Click() somewhere.

Also, you should declare a local variable instead of using the name of the button itself. So, var/name at the start of Click(), there.

Thank you for your response, Garthor. I've checked time and time again, and no, I have not overwritten the client/Click() anywhere.

The other alternative is that you are never actually clicking the button. Most likely this is because it is being obscured by something else. Setting its layer to something large (like, 100) should bring it to the front.

Alternatively, it might not have any icon at all, but because you have one specified there I doubt that.

The icon is blank, and i'll try the layer technique. Thanks!

The layer solution worked. Thank you very much.
