Placing Characters Name in Different Box

[Fenrir34]

So I have a text box and now I have a smaller box for the characters name. Does anyone know how I do that? I can't find the code

This might be what you're looking for:
http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/FAQ ... own_box.3F

so you just need to add

Code: Select all

show_two_window=True

when declaring the characters

e.g.:

Code: Select all

$ e = Character("Eileen", show_two_window=True)

I looked over the code but I don't know how to place it in my script renpy. This is what it looks like

Code: Select all

define k = Character('Kana', color="#c8ffc8") $ k = Character("Kana", show_two_window=True)

Also the namebox isn't showing up when I put it in my options and yet I have it in my game folder

Code: Select all

    style.say_who_window.background = Frame("namebox.png", 15, 15)

    style.say_who_window.xalign = 0.0
    style.say_who_window.yalign = 1.0
    #style.say_who_window.xpos = 100 #For precise placement
    #style.say_who_window.ypos = 100 #For precise placement
    style.say_who_window.left_padding = 15
    style.say_who_window.top_padding = 15
    style.say_who_window.right_padding = 15
    style.say_who_window.bottom_padding = 15
    style.say_who_window.xminimum = 150
    style.say_who_window.yminimum = 15
    style.say_who_window.xfill = False

Code: Select all

define k = Character('Kana', color="#c8ffc8") $ k = Character("Kana", show_two_window=True)

I assumed that this code is on 2 lines? Because it's not even valid syntax when you put on just 1 line.

Here is an explanation of what went wrong with your code:
1.

Code: Select all

$ k = Character("Kana", show_two_window=True)

This line will get ignored unless you specifically put it into an init block. Which is why the namebox window do not show up.
2.
Even if you were to fix problem #1 by putting it correctly into an init block like this....

Code: Select all

define k = Character('Kana', color="#c8ffc8") 
init:
    $ k = Character("Kana", show_two_window=True)

...it will have a different problem. Specifically, on the first line, you create a character with name Kana and colour for the name being #c8ffc8, and that character is assigned to the variable k. On the last line, you make a new character with the name Kana and whom dialogue have a separated namebox and assign it to variable k, OVERWRITING the first one you created. In other word, k lost the property of showing name with colour #c8ffc8.

What you want to do is supply all information at the same time while you create the character. Like this:

Code: Select all

define k=Character("Kana", color="#c8ffc8",show_two_window=True)

Don't worry, you don't need to make a separate statement for it:

Code: Select all

define k = Character('Kana', color="#c8ffc8, show_two_window=True) 

Sorry if I confused you, I hope it works now

Thanks but the code doesn't work. It's okay though. I'll just live with what I got. Thanks

Sigh...It's just a small syntax error in quilty's code.
Try the code I put at the end of my previous post, which is just like quilty's code but without the missing quotation mark.

So I have a text box and now I have a smaller box for the characters name. Does anyone know how I do that? I can't find the code
