[Solved] Can I hide the dialogue box and still have text run in it?

#1 Post by Lysandrus »

If the box is hidden and text is still running, I can have it advance forward without text.

the invisible dialogue would be in between several show statements so that it creates the illusion that the player's clicking is causing them to show.

I'm not sure exactly what effect you're trying to achieve--what's the difference between "invisible dialogue" and dialogue that simply isn't there until the user clicks? If you just want to hide the window and then show it again when the user clicks you can do that with something like:

Code: Select all

"Example text"
window hide
$ renpy.pause()
window show 
"Example text 2"
