[Solved] Displaying textbox underneath menu choice screen

[PXL]

How would one go about keeping the textbox on screen while simultaneously displaying menu choices? At the moment, the textbox disappears as soon as the menu choices appear on the screen. I am pretty new to anything that has to do with Ren'Py, so a dummy example would be much appreciated!

If you do it like this, the text box with the question "What do you choose?" will disappear.

Code: Select all

"What do you choose?"
menu:
    "Choice A":
        jump ch_A
    "Choice B":
        jump ch_B

If you do it like this, on the other hand, the text box with the question "What do you choose?" will stay on the screen.

Code: Select all

menu:
    "What do you choose?"
    "Choice A":
        jump ch_A
    "Choice B":
        jump ch_B

Thank you so much!

However, is there a way to make the menu choices appear after the textbox line rather than simultaneously?

Try this.

Code: Select all

"What do you choose?"
menu:
    extend "" # extra line

    "Choice A":
        jump ch_A
    "Choice B":
        jump ch_B

Try this.

Code: Select all

"What do you choose?"
menu:
    extend "" # extra line

    "Choice A":
        jump ch_A
    "Choice B":
        jump ch_B

Ugh, and all this time I was duplicating the same text line and setting the cps to zero. Why didn't I think of using extend... Gah!

I was always wondering about this! Thank you! ^^
