[SOLVED] Different textboxes for characters not aligning

[MonsoonMushroom]

Hello, I'm back again with a problem that's probably really easy to fix if you're not hopeless at coding.

I want each of my characters to have a different background to their side image and figured the best way to do it (because my side images are scaled down versions of full sprites, not their own separate image) would be to change the textbox for each character. I've chosen the background for the main character as the default, and it works fine:



However, when I tried specifying another character should have a different textbox with this code...

Code: Select all

init:
    image arelisprite = DynamicDisplayable(draw_areli)
    define Ar = Character ("Areli", window_background="gui/textbox_areli.png", image = "areli",) # <-- important bit
    image areli = "arelisprite"
    image side areli = LiveCrop((0,0,286,393),"arelisprite")

It resulted in this:



As far as I know, it's supposed to take the dimensions of the default textbox without needing anything extra. Even so, I've tried manually adding xpos/ypos and xalign/yalign to move, and the textbox stays exactly where it is. How do I make it sit exactly where the default textbox is? I think (well, I hope) this has an easy fix, so any help would really be appreciated!

Are you sure the two images are the same size? You may have left some blankspace on top of the other one.

Doubled checked - they're definitely the same size. I even told it to use the same image as the one I use as a default, and it also showed up at the bottom of the screen. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong

I'm not the best coder either, but the way I've done this in the past is to remove the default window_background, then assign a window_background on a per character basis.

Here's one I've done before:

Code: Select all

define r = Character(None, what_xpos=380, what_ypos=140, what_xalign=0.5, what_yalign=0.5, window_xpos=390, window_ypos=138, window_xmaximum=720, window_xfill=True, what_text_align=0.5, window_background="rbox", callback=rcallback, all_at_once=False)

You can see I strayed quite far from the default, but it worked

I messed around with some things and... seem to have fixed it? I changed some values in my screens.rpy say code, which looks like now:

Code: Select all

style window:
    xalign 0.5
    xfill True
    yalign gui.textbox_yalign
    ysize gui.textbox_height

    background Image ("gui/textbox_le.png", xalign=0, yalign=0)

and my gui window (I think this is the only relevant part of it anyway):

Code: Select all

## The height of the textbox containing dialogue.
define gui.textbox_height = 150

## The placement of the textbox vertically on the screen. 0.0 is the top, 0.5 is
## center, and 1.0 is the bottom.
define gui.textbox_yalign = 0.75

I've messed around with the default gui a fair bit since making the game, so maybe I'd accidentally screwed something up and now I've accidentally screwed it back into place again. In any case, it works fine now!
