changing text box

[DebiruHaato]

I nailed about changing text box to custom made one, but I want to change the text box in occasions such as when the Bad End or Good End is executed.

but how?

Use a variable. Then change the text box graphic based on a conditional branch in the "say screen" in screens.rpy

Can you explain it? I'm new to Renpy, so I don't quite understand...

Everytime you want to change the dialogue window background you can do it by simply having several versions of the same character, each one with a different dialogue box.
Confused?
Okay, I will try to explain. So, imagine you have three different text boxes for three different occasions. Let's say you have a character named John Doe. You declare that character several times:

Code: Select all

init:
    define jd1 = Character('John Doe', color = '#99FF33', window_background="jd_sunny.png")
    define jd2 = Character('John Doe', color = '#99FF33', window_background="jd_moonlight.png")
    define jd3 = Character('John Doe', color = '#99FF33', window_background="jd_rainy.png")

Now if you want the first text box to appear when John Doe speaks, just use the first character definition:

Code: Select all

    jd1 "Oh, what a beautiful morning! I think I'll go for a walk."

Then suddenly the weather change. Let's say your third dialogue box will look better on a rainy scene:

Code: Select all

    jd3 "Oh, no! It started to rain!

Understood? Yes, it's a dirty trick.
