This is my first time making a game so code is really new to me. I figured out how to add a side image of a character on the left side of the text box when they're speaking but now I've found a new problem! If the side image is there, the character's name window is not displayed at all. I read other posts about this but everyone else had their name box appear but be partially hidden by the side image. However, the name box doesn't appear at all in my case.
(the bg is temporary)

The side image is too small to be blocking any name whether it is in a separate window or not (I tried doing both). However, when I remove the side image completely, the name can be displayed...

I'd really love to have both the side image and the name box there (especially if the name box is in a separate window from the text box) but is it impossible? Also, as I said, this is my first game so I might need a step-by-step process if I really don't understand what's going on...

How did you define the side image?

I wrote that in the script underneath the part where you define the character (which is included in the code for clarity - i didnt define the character twice)

You need to combine the two into one. If you're using the show_side_image way of doing things, you need to write:

Thank you so much! It worked! ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ

Side Note: I really like the style of your sketches!

Thank you!! A lot!! (●´□`)♡
