How to have set number of lines appear on NVL mode instead of scrolling upwards?

[amada]

Hi! I'm a bit unfamiliar with how making an NVL works but I've checked through the renpy cookbook and some tutorials over here at the forums for some answers but a lot of the things discussed on customizing the NVL confused me. Specifically, I want to be able to have a set number of lines appear on my NVL textbox, before it disappears and is replaced by a new set of lines instead of the previous texts scrolling upwards as new lines appear. (i.e. a chunk of 7 lines appear, disappears, then a new chunk plays out)

I've already managed to do the part on the number of lines I want to appear, but I'm still very stumped on how to do the other.

Help would be much appreciated, thank you very much!

Code: Select all

    e "And now I want to clear the screen of all text"
    nvl clear
    e "Its gone!"

Thanks! This definitely helps!
Although I was wondering if it were possible for the text to clear up once a certain number of lines appear, instead of having to manually clear them up using the above code?

Not that I am aware of. Perhaps someone else knows more.
