Visual novel help ;-;

Not a burden at all! Just don't be scared of the error messages, try and read them and see if they make sense first, and if you're stuck, quite often you can just google the error message and find solutions that way too

How do you get 4 characters on screen at the same time? 2 in the middle, 1 on the left, and 1 on the right? Cause i have 2 characters ontop of each other..

[kivik]

When you use at center, at left and at right, you're using pre-existing transforms in Renpy: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/transforms.html

When you use a transform, Renpy places the image exactly where the transform says it goes - it doesn't take any consideration into whether you already have something there already, it doesn't work out ways to automatically align your images.

So if you want to have 4 characters on screen at the same time, you need to create your own transforms, and determine exactly where each transform will put the image. This means you need left, midleft, midright, right at the very least to achieve what you want - with midleft and midright being ones you define yourself. You may in fact find you need farleft, midleft, midright, farright (again, you need to create all these transforms yourself).

The user defined transforms link is at the bottom of the page I linked at the top. The properties you want to use are xalign (to determine horizontal alignment) and make sure they all have yalign 1.0 to align them to the bottom of the game window.

Question, How do I put a warning at the very beginning of the game? Like how Dan salvato did in DDLC

another Question: How do you flash a picture on the screen before a fade to the next screen?

You can use the splashscreen special label: https://renpy.org/doc/html/label.html#special-labels

You can use the statements scene, show, pause 0.1, with dissolve, hide to show/dissolve/hide any image.

How do I Do multiple flashes of Images? Like as if a horrible nightmare is happening? Or something.. I was thinking Splashscreen, but that would be at the beginning, cause im able to change the speed for the splash screens so..
