How to Customize Textbox and Choice menu

#1 Post by serene-artist »

Hey everyone,

My friends and I are having some trouble on designing the textbox and choice menu. I don't know if there are any tutorials around already, but since this is probably a complicated request, any help would be appreciated!!

We want our main protagonist to appear on the bottom-right corner of the screen along with his own box (see image for reference) so it shows his expressions along with the dialog.

We also want our choice menu to appear on the bottom-right side above the protagonist. (see image)

I know these seem like a lot of work to explain, but we really need to know! Please help us make this game, we'd really appreciate it! I want everyone to play it too......Thanks in advance!!!!!

There are two tutorials in the Cookbook already ^^".
Customize textbox
Customize menus
Next time, search carefully before you ask something, and this is not the asking place anyway ^^".

Is it possible to make main textbox dynamically sizing according to the text size? If one string - and textbox is small just enough to show it, if large text - and textbox expanding to show all strings (current textbox doesn't show strings which are cut if text is large). The problem is graphic .png file that cannot be "expaneded".
