[SOLVED] Dialogue History > Hiding or removing lines from History?

[017Bluefield]

So this probably isn't a good idea in the long run, but I've been scouring search results for "hide lines" from the History log and have come up with nothing.

How do I keep given lines from being recorded in History? So that when the player checks History, certain lines that appear in the Dialogue box (such as a disclaimer) do not appear there?

Make the text on a screen that doesn't use the say window.

Something like

Code: Select all

screen ui_text():
    add text "disclaimer" at center

label start:
    window hide
    show screen ui_text
    window auto

You could also make the text editable so you can reuse the same screen, to show different texts. I don't remember how this is done though. Parameterised text?

Hmm... Okay? I think I got the principle of it.

But what about stuff that does use the window, or at least the lower third? I'm trying to have my game "talk" to the player about some brief-but-important things before the story starts (this is after clicking the New Game button).
