Hello,
I've been having a spot of trouble with my characters' names. I know I can change the x and y axis of where I may place my names in the Namebox, but they seem to be anchored to the center. As in, a longer name will always appear farther left and right than a shorter name.
I would like to have the first letter of names anchored, so that they will only expand to the right if the names get longer.

Thank you for your time.

have you tried changing the xalign to 0.0? you can implement it just as you would xpos and ypos.

In my experience the names are left aligned. Have you changed the say screen at all?

If I change the Xalign to 0.0, then the names stick out of the Namebox (it is diamond shaped)

I'm a bit confused. Couldn't you then use xpos and ypos to move the now left aligned names until they fit into the Namebox?

If I do that, then both the Namebox and name move across the screen.

You can always align the names to the namebox individually when you define the character. For instance:
Just experiment and set the namebox_xalign value to whatever works best for the character's name.

Code: Select all

define b = Character("Bob", namebox_xalign=0.74)

Just experiment and set the namebox_xalign value to whatever works best for the character's name.

Oh I didn't know you could do that. Thank you for the help!
