Is there a way to add eastern emoticons to text?

Hey all, I'm trying to add eastern emoticons to text, but ren'py either sees it as invisible or as a box or just X. I heard it works if you find a font that supports it, but I've tried multiple fonts, including Japanese fonts, and have had no luck. Does anyone have any insight on this? Here's an exa...

Re: How to make drags disappear after clicking a button?

action ToggleVariable("chatrooms_open", "True") action [SetVariable("chatrooms_open", "False")] No wonder it doesn't work. You are setting your variable "chatrooms_open" to a string that reads "True" / "False" . What you wanted i...

Re: Integrate choice menus inside screens?

vbox with textbuttons can have style or inline properties with yalign 1.0 or align (1.0, 1.0) To reserve some constant space for them, set alignment and size for their container frame: align (1.0, 1.0) xysize (600, 400) vbox: # with maybe: align (1.0, 1.0) for index, c in enumerate(chat_choices, st...

Re: Integrate choice menus inside screens?

Thanks, both of you! I happen to end up using @jeffster's solution because I saw it first and it worked without any known issues so far. I haven't tested it in length yet but from the bit I've done it seems to be working. I had to make a few changes for it to fully work with my chatroom code, but no...

[SOLVED] Integrate choice menus inside screens?

Hey everyone, I have a question about integrating choice menus within screens. I'm working on an in-game desktop, and one of the things the player can use in there is a chatroom. I have dialogue working when they should by essentially just jumping to a label and calling a menu. https://cdn.discordap...

How to use textbeeps without compromising user experience?

Hi all. I've been using text beeps in my game, but I'd like them to stop during pauses in dialogue like commas and periods. Normally, they stop just fine if I'm using a wait tag, but instead I have to use a cps tag like this: an "Test.{cps=3} test." The reason I'm not using the wait tag is...

Text Beeps Playing During Pause Menu?

Hi all. I've been using text beeps instead of voices for my characters. I have it implemented by using this code from the docs: https://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/cookbook/Expanded_Text_Bleeps The only issue I have is that if I pause in the middle of a line while the text characters are still appe...

Re: Allow skipping of dialogue containing wait tags

Hi all, I've been using wait text tags a lot mid-sentence to emulate punctuation. Ex: an "Test,{w=0.25} test.{w=0.30} Test.{w=0.40}.. Test.{w=0.30} test.{w=0.30} test." It works well, but I recently noticed if the player clicks to advance a line of dialogue, and there's a wait text tag in...

Re: Aligning/anchoring draggables

...I tried it like this but the result didn't change... Well, yes... Looks like draggables are positioned onscreen witn anchor(0.0, 0.0). So, to show smaller image in the center of the area of bigger image you need to keep the original size of the draggable and position smaller image with offset. H...

Re: Aligning/anchoring draggables

... It's quite strange that object shrinks when player hovers it... Anyway, try to align not selected_hover image, but the whole draggable object. I think there was a bit of a communication. The selected hover version of the image being smaller is intentional, but I still want to be able to keep it...

Re: dragging callback unexpected behavior

Your excpectation is a bit illogical, since you have a callback that reacts to hovering a drag, but as soon as you drag you expect it to unhover, although the player *is* still hovering it. So your idea to call the function was correct, but you may want to restart the interaction. I tested the foll...

[SOLVED] dragging callback unexpected behavior

Hi all. I'm currently working on a minigame that involved drags, but I'm having an issue with the dragging callback. Context: I'm trying to implement idle and hover variants. HOWEVER, it is not the drags themselves that will have these variants. Instead, a different image will have the idle and hove...
