How to switch between NVL and ADV mode

[SegaOfPlaneptune]

I've been looking around, but I still haven't been able to figure it out.
How exactly can you switch between NVL and ADV modes in Ren'Py?
I'm trying to make a game switches between both depending on scenes, but I have no idea how to do it.
Can anyone help?

It depends on the character who's speaking.
eg.

Code: Select all

define nvlChar = new Character(None, kind=nvl)
define advChar = new Character(None, kind=adv)

label start:

    nvlChar "My text comes up in NVL mode"
    advChar "Mine comes up in ADV mode"

    advChar "Mine comes up in ADV mode"

Okay, that's pretty easy to follow. But is there anyway to make the narration change back as well?

The start of my game is completely NVL in terms of narration and dialogue, but I want the following scene to be completely ADV for narration and dialogue as well.

Use different characters for these scenes.
Having None as the first parameter makes the character not have a name, so they're the same as the narrator.

Okay I think I understand a little more now, but I'm still confused.

Could you perhaps give me an example?

Code: Select all

define nvlChar = new Character(None, kind=nvl)
define nvlSally = new Character("Sally", kind=nvl)

define sally = new Character("Sally", kind=adv)

label start:

    nvlChar "This is NVL mode narration."
    nvlChar "nvlChar has no name, so he's essentially a narrator."

    nvlSally "Hi, I'm Sally, and this is me talking in NVL mode."

    "Intro done. This is ADV narration"
    "No character needed. Narrator is adv by default."

    sally "Sally again! In ADV mode this time."

Okay! Tested it out and now I finally get it!

Thank you so much for helping me with this!
