[SOLVED]help for text box that doesn't need show_two_window

[polks]

I'm super new to this and looked at Aleema's wonderful text box customization tutorial thread already but I'm running into a problem. Ideally i would like a text box that is one image but automatically accounts for the space a character name would take up when using the narrator. Ren'py's default makes the nameless narration start in the same line where, if i don't use show_two_window, the character names will show. I assume there's a simple way to get around this by defining the narrator text to start at a different position but i'm not sure how to code that.

I attempted to get around this by using the show_two_window code without a frame, but it results in the character name text being behind the textbox image.



Like so. Ultimately the show_two_window code would perfectly suit my purposes if i could figure out how to make the character names show up above the textbox. If you guys have any solutions, I'd love the help. I've tried looking around but didn't see anything address this, though easily could have missed it.

If I understood correctly, you just need to define your narrator character with a blank space in the 'name' field:

Code: Select all

define narrator = Character(' ')

HAHA of course it's that simple. Thank you so much! I was overthinking it :')
