I was just wondering whether there was any way to stop the textbox from disappearing whenever a transition occurs.
So far, the only way I have been able to show my positioned characters is by simply showing them at a position without any transitions, which just shows them abruptly and suddenly, making the characters just appearing. This doesn't really flow well with the game xD
So, is there any code that I need to switch off or will I just have to deal with not being able to show my characters with a dissolve or any other transition?
Thanks
If you want the dialogue box to not disappear during transitions, you use the command "window show". Best to put it right at the beginning of your start label like:
Similarly, "window hide" will make it disappear. (unless it's supposed to be there, like during a dialogue, etc) I do this in my game and have to make it disappear again during NVL scenes, etc.
