Character text box. Name placement. [Solved]

[Otto-V]

Hello I got a question about making the text fit properly inside my custom made text boxes. I have allredy managed to get the text of the narration to fit but when a character name apears I do not know how to make it apear in the rigth place

I am using a new text box for when a character speaks, this was the code I used

Code: Select all

define d = Character('Deagon', window_background="text_nameFrameStandard.png", who_font="segoesc.ttf", color="#b22222")

after reading on the wiki I tried this code just to see if the name moved at all but nothing seems to have changed.

Code: Select all

define d = Character('Deagon', window_background="text_nameFrameStandard.png", who_font="segoesc.ttf", color="#b22222", who_yalign=45)

I tried again and ised very high number so I am sure its not moving at all.

This is the aticle I read maby I am reading it wrong to. What dose $ before the code mean?



How would I write the code for the desierd result?

Try to set show_two_window parameter to True for your character and then adjust the position of its name.

Code: Select all

Hi and thank you for the response.

Adding in the show_two_window=True code moved the name on top but added in another dialouge window, how do I remove this?

I am very new at coding but I really want to make my game the best it can be so I am trying to learn the best I can, I apolegize for any stupid questions.

Do I need to change somthing in the Options.rpy file?

This is the code I am using for the character now

Code: Select all

define t = Character('Thera', show_two_window=True, who_top_padding=1000, who_yalign=40, window_background="text_nameFrameStandard.png")

As you can see I put padding up to a 1000, I tried it really low and around 60. I just decided to put in a large number to see if it did anything at all.

What am I doing wrong?

Here is my current ingame tex box.

Get rid of who_window's background

Code: Select all

init:
    $ style.say_who_window.background=None

and set the who_yoffset for your character.
