ALWAYS outlining text

[AustinYQM]

I have a character who is an angel. I want their text to always bee outlined in a soft glow. Is it possible to do this in the "define z = Character('Angel', color="#00FF00")" area?

I found http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/style_pro ... properties but I don't actually understand how to use it since there aren't any examples and I am not bright.

I believe what_color="#ffffff" is what you use to determine the color of the text when a character speaks.

And what_outlines=[(1, "#000000", 1, 1)] is what you use to add an outline to the what the character says.

So like this:

Code: Select all

define j = Character('Joe', what_color="#00FF00", what_outlines=[(1, "#ffffff", 1, 1)])

I don't know how to make the outline look like a glow effect though.

Thanks. I was trying "what_outlines=(1, "#ffffff", 1, 1) and that was causing problems. adding the [] around it fixed that!

Do make it look like a glow I used a very light almost-white yellow and made the font itself a little more grey then white.

You could also use several outlines to make it glow:

Code: Select all

what_outlines=[ (3, "#ffc4", 0, 0), (2, "#ffc4", 0, 0), (1, "#ffc4", 0, 0) ]
