[ANSWERED] Q: overlaid message box w/ "hyperlink" choices?

EDIT: ANSWERED

Okay, this is more scripting than writing but I'm not sure which forum to put this under, so, writing it is.

...how would you do it? (scriptwise)

I am only aware of

Code: Select all

label start:
     centered "Blah blah blah blah"
but that just blacks everything out, right?

Actually, all Renpy coding questions go in the Ren'Py Questions and Announcements part of the forum.
However, a great number of the most commonly used coding recipes can be found in the Ren'Py Cookbook section of the forum.

The first one looks like NVL screen, so try

Thanks, the first link and the third one did the trick (NVL mode and

Code: Select all

"So you need to make a choice.../n
{a=jumpPass}Choice 1{/a}/n
{a=jumpFail}Choice 2{/a}"
post by TrickWithAKnife. I couldn't have possibly found them on my own, so thanks again! ^.^
