"<x> will remember that" notifications on the corner?

I'm not sure what they call it, I tried search possible names for it and couldn't find anything. I've been wanting to make notification style text that expresses the character's reaction on the corner of the screen in the same way Telltale games do.



it's text that fades in and fades out passively without and ctc.

Also is there a way to have it be enabled and disabled withing the games settings?

Check renpy.notify() function and Notify screen action. You will probably want to change notify screen to tweak it appearance.

hmm, I tried putting a message as a text and it didn't work. I got this as an error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/script.rpy", line 266: expected statement.
    renpy.notify(Thereaedi did not appreciate that.)
                                                      

Is there some sort of tutorial or guide on how to make it work?

1) renpy.notify is a Python statement so it shuld be prepended with dollar sign
2) It expects string as argument, not raw words

So it should look like:

Code: Select all

$ renpy.notify('Thereaedi did not appreciate that.')

Ok, that worked. Thanks a lot!
