Can You Make The Namebox Below the Textbox?

[tiya_nofurita]

Just asking, is it possible for Ren'Py to place the namebox below the textbox, just like this game?
I've been trying with style.say_who_window whatever it is but to no avail.

The way to do this is to edit screens.rpy, and change the order of things in the say screen.

Hm, it works, but how can I "centered" the position of namebox now?
This doesn't work as expected. I want it to be "centered" on the below screen, no matter how long the "say" sentence is.

Code: Select all

    if not two_window:

        # The one window variant.        
        window:
            id "window"

            has vbox:
                style "say_vbox"
                
            text what id "what"
            
            if who:
                vbox xalign 0.5 ypos 0.9:
                    text who id "who"

try something like

Code: Select all

style say_who_window:
    xalign 0.5

Not tested.

Tried it, but the frame looks weird. It doesn't "stretch" as long as the textbox goes.

[Asceai]

Code: Select all

style say_who_window xfill True
style say_label xalign 0.5

[tiya_nofurita]

Code: Select all

style say_who_window xfill True
style say_label xalign 0.5

It works! Although now the "height" of the textbox between "narrated" and "say" sentences looks drastically different because of two window variant....I really have no idea how to implement this with one window variant, so it'd be the same height no matter "narrated" or "say" sentences.

Nevertheless thank you all for your help

I don't know of a good way to do that with styles. What I'd do is move the 'if who:' check:

• Remove it and de-indent everything inside it so it's at the same level of indentation as 'if who:' before.
• Add 'if who:' in the place where the 'text who' code is, then indent that, so the who window appears even though the text doesn't.
• Then add an 'else:' statement to the 'if who:' with something like text "" so the window has a child of the right height.

You could do custom textboxes for the characters that have their names in the image so you wouldn't need a namebox.

Code: Select all

define tito = Character("", window_background="textbox_tito.png", BLAH BLAH OTHER PROPERTIES)

I copied this from an old version project so the coding might have changed since then, but the general idea is the same.

Ah! That's very convenient and easy method lol never thought of that :p. Less flexible indeed and memory-consuming.
I'll try it soon
