How to move the namebox for certain characters?

[ConerNSFW]

I would like to move the namebox and change the background for certain characters. I've looked up several guides and the information seems to either be incorrect or outdated.

Inside the say screen you can identify what character is speaking and change what assets you display by doing something like this:

Code: Select all

define m = Character("Mary")
define j = Character("Jim")
screen say:
    ...
    window:
            id "window"

            if who == "Mary":
                background "mary_textbox.png"
            elif who == "Jim":
                background "jim_textbox.png"
            ...

Alternatively, if you just want to change the textbox background, you can do something like this:

Code: Select all

define m = Character("Mary", window_background="mary_textbox.png")
define j = Character("Jim", window_background="jim_textbox.png")

With your help I managed to get what I wanted.

I use a variable to define if the game is in a cutscene or not and the say screen display different things based on this variable.

Code: Select all

screen say(who, what):
    style_prefix "say"
    window:
        id "window"

        
        if not cutscene:
            background "gui/textbox.png"
            text what id "what"
            if who is not None:

                window:
                    style "namebox"
                    text who id "who"
        elif cutscene:
            background "gui/textbox_cutscene.png"
            text what id "what":
                xpos 100
            if who is not None:

                window:
                    style "namebox2"
                    text who id "who"

Anyway thanks for the help.
