Animating the textbox [ SOLVED]

[gensuta]

Ok so I'm trying to make the textbox like a speech bubble, but I'm not quite sure how I'd go about doing it?
And with each character I want to change the speech bubble to a different color as well so I tried using this approach to animate it

Code: Select all

define k = Character('Kaede', 
    color="#c8ffc8",
    image="kaede", 
    window_background =
        "gui/KL_1.png"
        pause 1.0
        "gui/KL_2.png"
        pause 1.0
        repeat
        )

But this happened

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 28: invalid syntax
            pause 1.0
                 ^
    

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.99.12.1.2012

I left the textbox code alone in the screens.rpy tab but I'm not sure how I'd animate it there either :/


Thanks in advance to whoever can help ;-;

"window_background" doesn't take transform right where it is. I suggest you define the image properly with transform first.

Code: Select all

image kaede_window_background:
    "gui/KL_1.png"
    pause 1.0
    "gui/KL_2.png"
    pause 1.0
    repeat

define k = Character('Kaede', 
    color="#c8ffc8",
    image="kaede", 
    window_background = "kaede_window_background")

Oh wowie that worked just fine! Thank you!
