How do you hide the textbox or say screen and show it again in a screen?

[MilywayObree]

I have been using Ren'Py for months and I have been searching to find a way to hide the say screen and show it again in a screen...
Please, can someone help me?

Code: Select all

    renpy.hide_screen( 'say' )
    ....
    # renpy.show_screen( 'say' ) would likely error or just show a blank/empty window
    # You could add renpy.store._last_say_who, renpy.store._last_say_what as parameters
    # I find the following works nicest though
    ....
    renpy.say( renpy.store._last_say_who, 
                     renpy.store._last_say_what, 
                     interact=True ) # or False if on menu etc
