    var/prompt_title = "Character Creation"
    var/help_text = "What is your name?"
    rename
    var/char_name = input(usr, help_text, prompt_title) as null|text
    if(char_name == "")
        alert("Please choose a name!")
        goto rename

Actually you need to scrap that code outright, not complete it. It's from an old crap demo that's abusing goto.

In response to Lummox JR
this should do it


mob/player
    Login()
        var/p
        while(!p)//While the var 'p' is blank/null
            p=input(src,"Create a Name for your Character","Name") as text
        src.name=p
        //this wont let the player continue until they have entered there name
        ..()

Depends, do you want a create char proc to be called at the start of the game, or by clicking a create char off a title screen???
