CTC problem + Background question

[Dovahkitteh]

Hiya,

I'm having a small problem with the click to continue button. For some reason, it shows up fine during my NVL text, and even in ADV mode, my characters' dialogue also show it. But the narrator character that I've defined refuses to show it, for some reason.

Here's the narrator character's code:

Code: Select all

define n = Character(None, color="#c8ffc8", window_left_padding=0, yanchor=0.0, xanchor=0.0, ctc="ctc_pic", ctc_position="nestled")

and my CTC definition:

Code: Select all

image ctc_pic:
    
    #xanchor 1.0 yanchor 1.0 
    alpha 1.0 # visible
    "ctcmaybe.png"
    1.0
    alpha 0.0 # invisible
    1.0
    repeat

I get no errors, so any ideas as to why this isn't working for the narrator character?

One extra question: whenever I implement a screen shake, I can see the transparent box behind the scene. Is there anyway to just change this to a black background behind the actual picture?

Thank you very much!

Try adding "callback=callbackcontinue" to the character.

As for the screen shake, try defining a blank black image the same size as your game's resolution and show it behind the image you're shaking.

That transparent background is only visible while your game is in developer mode. It won't show up on the final build if you declare

Code: Select all

    config.developer = False

on your options.rpy.

Try adding "callback=callbackcontinue" to the character.

I tried that, to this effect:

Code: Select all

While running game code:
  File "game/intro.rpy", line 46, in script
    define n = Character(None, color="#c8ffc8",  ctc="ctc_pic", ctc_position="nestled", window_left_padding=0, yanchor=0.0, xanchor=0.0, callback=callbackcontinue)
  File "game/intro.rpy", line 46, in <module>
    define n = Character(None, color="#c8ffc8",  ctc="ctc_pic", ctc_position="nestled", window_left_padding=0, yanchor=0.0, xanchor=0.0, callback=callbackcontinue)
NameError: name 'callbackcontinue' is not defined

NameError: name 'callbackcontinue' is not defined

I also tried including "callbackcontinue" in quotes, but that had no effect. D:

Code: Select all

    config.developer = False

on your options.rpy.

Thank you, that did indeed fix it!

Ah, I fixed the problem! Apparently in one of my other scripts, I'd defined the narrator with slightly different attributes (For some reason...). I got rid of that second definition and now it shows up the way it's supposed to.

Thanks again!
