[SOLVED] what_prefix showing during dialogue box transitions

[hassohappa]

My game's narration puts a ">" symbol before every line like in Persona games, like: ">You ate grass. "
To avoid having to manually type a ">" before every sentence, I set my narrator's what_prefix to ">". This works great, except the ">" now gets included in dialogue box transitions...

For example, if the window was hidden and I put "window show dissolve", the ">" will fade in with the window before the rest of the text.
And if I do "window show dissolve", the ">" dissolves along with the window instead of disappearing with the rest of the text.

Is there any way around this without deleting the what_prefix?

Code: Select all

init python:
    ewc = Character(None)

    def my_empty_window():
         ewc("", interact=False)

    config.empty_window = my_empty_window
