Information Screen

[lovebby]

I'm just a bit curious, is there a limit to how many characters can be on this screen?

Hello,

I'd like to ask, can I make the character info unlockable after we've met the person? So at the beginning it'll be '???'

Thank You

if you followed the standard implementation oft his code. (I mean outright copy paste)
...
anyway, first we add a Boolean that by default value = False:

Code: Select all

$ angelica_introduced = False   

then if the character is introduced:

Code: Select all

$ angelica_introduced = True 

the character's own textbutton should appear if the Boolean returns True.

Code: Select all

 if angelica_introduced:
                textbutton "Angie" action SetVariable ("viewing", Angelica.name) xminimum 120 yminimum 120

Umm I mean, on the info screen, not on the namebox.
So I'd like to make it looks like this before the character is introduced:

And after the character has been introduced, her name will appear like this:

But I'd like to make the other characters' info be like that as well. The name 'Ethan' below her, appeared before he's even introduced (along with his info). I want so that before the character is introduced, his/her info on the info screen (name, blood type, etc) will only appeared as '???'

Thank You

there's one easy way out of that, you'll have to hardcode the character's default values to = "???" like:

Code: Select all

$ Stephanie.name = "???"
#same goes for everything else

then when the character is introduced:

Code: Select all

"So her name is Stephanie"
$ Stephanie.name = "Stephanie"

the textbutton code would look like:

Code: Select all

 textbutton Stephanie.name action SetVariable ("viewing", Stephanie.name) xminimum 120 yminimum 120

hope this helps

Sorry I'm slightly confused here. Where would you put the stuff I need for it to be unlocked? Like I think I understand the textbutton goes under the displays everything section, but I'm confused on everything else. I apologize for troubling you, but could you explain in detail please?

I assume you're going to use the same function as me? To use the same function, in the infoscreen script, you should make all the characters info = ???
For example,

Code: Select all

$ old_man = char(
        name="???", 
        age="???",
        dateable=False
        )

And then, still in the infoscreen script, on the bottom of the script, put codes like this:

Code: Select all

vbox xpos 1.3 ypos 3.7:
   if name != 'Name: ???':
      text name size 19

After that, on your dialogue script, on where you would like the character to be introduced, put codes like this: (for example)

Code: Select all

old_man "My name is A."
$old_man.name = "A"
old man "I am 100 years old"
$old_man.age = "100"

Hope that helps ^^

Another question I have is there anyway to hide the infoscreen button on the bottom during the game? For example, I want it to be hidden during the beginning and it will appear the moment he meets the first girl.

I'm unable to make the agility, strength, intelligence, health, etc. bars for my main character's page to show up. I made mainChar = True , but it still isn't showing up. Furthermore, the affection and friendship bars are staying on the page as well.
