How to hide say box from a screen?

#1 Post by Jezzy »

Hi,

I have a python script tracking stats and calling a screen (renpy.show_screen) if a variable is greater or equal to a value. The screen show up as expected however the say box overlay over the said screen. I tried to pause renpy from the screen script or tried to find a way to hide the say box but It doesn't work.

Is there a way to pause renpy or hide the say box when you show a screen?

You can use:

Code: Select all

To hide the automatic window, and

Code: Select all

To make it come back again.
