Stop dialogue box from being hidden during choice?

[gamajorbatistan]

This is what my choice code looks like

Code: Select all

    label menu01:
    menu:
        "Man, Tracer's a weirdo when she's alone...":
            jump weirdo
            with slowdissolve

        "Poor Tracer just had a rough day...":
            jump roughday
            with slowdissolve

pretty normal, beginner choice code I'd say. However since that's where the question on which the decision is based stands, I'd like the player to be able to read the question without having to click back. Surely that's not too hard to do?

I tried putting this in options file

Code: Select all

define config.window = "show"

But unsurprisingly it doesn't do anything. Would be really grateful for any help.

put this into your script.rpy

Code: Select all

window show

below label start and make sure you indent it

Put the last dialogue line inside the menu label.

Code: Select all

menu:
     "What should I do?"

     "Drink coffee.":
         "I drink the coffee, and it's good to the last drop."

     "Drink tea.":
         $ drank_tea = True
         "I drink the tea, trying not to make a political statement as I do."

An alternate method is to put extend "" inside the menu block.

Code: Select all

    inu "I'm going to..."
    menu:
        extend ""
        "Help out in the server room.":
        #
        "Go scout around the area.":
        #
        "Stay in the camp here.":
        #

I personally prefer this method, as it allows the dialogue to display, and then the key press at the end displays the menu prompt.
